I reinstalled Ubuntu over another install and now the boot time takes about 1 minute and 40 seconds just on the splash screen. I believe it has something to do with the former swap partition.

my dmesg output:

my /etc/fstab open in gedit:

IN LINK BELOW, HAD TO REMOVE BECAUSE I AM A PLEB :(

I am going off this post: Is Bluetooth responsible for my Ubuntu 16.04 much slower startup?

but i have little idea on which one to delete, I guess the first but I don't feel like breaking my system again. In the above post we have the same issue I just do not know which one to delete in geddit, I have tried contacting both users and no luck.

EDIT: Here are all the commands and their outputs: https://pastebin.com/f2m9nY46

What I mean by older swap partition is basically what I read in the post above: "I had the same problem after a fresh install to a new SSD drive. It turned out that during the install process Ubuntu found the older HDD's swap partition and registered that in /etc/fstab." Since I had another installation of ubuntu on the drive before this one I thought it might be applicable.

  • Please describe "former swap partition"? Show me free -h and swapon -s and sudo blkid and cat /etc/fstab and cat /etc/crypttab. Please copy/paste the info into your question, not the comment please .Ping me at @heynnema when you have this info. – heynnema Aug 15 '17 at 20:08
  • @heynnema The edit is there mate – HardlyTheJavaLegend Aug 15 '17 at 20:22
  • I think I see what the problem is. Is your /home folder encrypted? If not, is there a need for an encrypted swap? Are there any other disks to consider besides a primary SSD? – heynnema Aug 15 '17 at 21:03
  • @heynnema there is only one disk and it is an HDD. The /home folder is encrypted – HardlyTheJavaLegend Aug 15 '17 at 21:05

You have two encrypted swap locations defined, but only 1 physical swap partition. We'll comment out the extra swap. We'll make backups so that if things don't work as planned, we can always recover easily.

Edit /etc/fstab...

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak # backup fstab
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab # edit fstab

Change this line:

/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

To this:

#/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

Edit /etc/crypttab...

sudo cp /etc/crypttab /etc/crypttab.bak # backup crypttab
gksudo gedit /etc/crypttab # edit crypttab

Change this line:

cryptswap1 UUID=211081f4-558e-41f4-9b94-337b10845122 /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

To this (I'm not 100% sure that crypttab will accept a #, and if not, we should just remove this line):

 #cryptswap1 UUID=211081f4-558e-41f4-9b94-337b10845122 /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

Reboot the computer.
