I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and after i put my login password it always takes from 2 to 10 minutes to actually load up to the desktop. I don't think that's a normal behavior. How to troubleshoot that and how to fix it?
The Laptop had/has FreeDos boot.

Also i have two disks: (Ubuntu is installed on SSD)

Time to load to desktop after login from my disk:

First try - 30 seconds
Second try - Didn't load up after 10 mins (force restarted it)
Third try - Again around 30 seconds
Fourth try - Around 1 minute
Fifth try - around 30 seconds

Time to load from live USB after clicking "Try ubuntu"

Only 1 try - around 3 seconds.

Also from time to time when i shutdown the computer it shows this: enter image description here enter image description here

  • During your fresh install, how did you prep the SSD for Ubuntu? Did you lay down a fresh GPT partition table? Do you have access to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB? – heynnema Oct 08 '19 at 21:49
  • @heynnema Why, bless your heart. – K7AAY Oct 08 '19 at 22:01
  • Uhm, no. I did not do anything with the SSD before installing ubuntu. I'm really new to ubuntu so i might missed a lot of things. And yes, I do have access to Ubuntu bootable USB. – popcorn Oct 09 '19 at 04:06
  • In the terminal type systemd-analyze blame. Copy the first screen and paste it into your question. Thanks, – WinEunuuchs2Unix Oct 17 '19 at 10:33
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix Added the information. – popcorn Oct 17 '19 at 10:39

15 seconds can be saved by removing NetworkManager-wait-online.service from the boot:

Not appearing in your question but worth checking is whether or not fsck is being run on every boot. If so you can change that to every 30 days or so:

You can also completely turn off fsck during boot:

  • Removing NetworkManager-wait-online.service sped up boot time a little bit but the stalls and random crashes while shutting down laptop still remains. – popcorn Oct 21 '19 at 10:34
