I have a notebook LG Gram 14z980 with Windows 10 by default. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 with dual boot and I notice that the boot time in Windows were much faster than Ubuntu (about 10 seconds). Then, I investigated dmesg and guess what... Ubuntu freezes exactly 10 seconds doing "nothing", then continues booting normally.

Example of dmesg:

[    2.561970] usb 1-8: Manufacturer: FPC 
[   12.934435] input: Logitech USB Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/0003:046D:C52B.0002/input/input6

I recently upgraded it with an additional SSD NVme (Crucial P5) and 16 GB RAM (Kingston Fury) and the behavior keeps the same, even with a fresh Ubuntu installation.

enter image description here

Does anyone have an advice on how to fix this? w I tried the following commands and I realized that the NetworkManager-wait-online.service was taking 6.237 seconds during boot. Then I disabled it, but dmesg keeps showing 10 seconds freezing as I posted.

Some new details of the current status:

None of them seems to take 10 seconds.

  • Look at all the startup logs: sudo journalctl -b 0. Find the timestamps that are 10 seconds apart. Also sudo systemd-analyze blame. – waltinator Dec 04 '21 at 06:11
  • Thank you for your comment, @waltinator I tried the commands you sent but they were not sufficient to solve the problem. The command blame helped to identify that the NetworkManager-wait-online.service was taking 6.237s during boot. Then, I disabled it, but dmesg keeps showing 10 sec freezing as I posted. I checked the command sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain, which confirmed NetworkManager-wait-online.service @4.311s +6.237s – Evandro Macedo Dec 05 '21 at 20:16

I would recommend disabling snapd at boot and Waiting for Network to come up.

There are other steps to speed up boot.

All three of these links provide a wealth of information. The links are all in Ask Ubuntu so they will not disappear until this answer does.
