My system takes more than 2 minutes to boot. I have an HP Omen laptop dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu Studio 18.04.2 LTS.

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 (4core) 2.8GHz
  • RAM: 12 GiB
  • Graphics: Radeon RX580
  • HDD: 1TB

Looking through similar issues I've seen posts stating the swap UUID was named incorrectly. I verified this was not the case. I cannot find any other explanation or solution.

Here is the result of systemd-analyze blame/time:

It seems many people have a similar issue but few are having results if it is not the UUID solution. Any help would be appreciated.

My boot time was similar. I only have Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 18.04.3 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 4.2GHz RAM 16G 500G WD5000 disk.

I installed an SSD and boot time is much better.
