Boot slowed... #103

Open ruldc opened 1 year ago

ruldc commented 1 year ago

Hello I really like this new version of linux as usual impressive and well done, but there is still a problem with booting it takes quite a long time from when the linux mint logo appears to the main screen, can the loading time of the operating system be shortened? And I have another problem with the Video Downloader program, it downloads anything but at a very low speed, until recently it downloads at a fairly good speed... And it wouldn't be bad to have implicitly installed a program capable of creating bootable usb sticks such as rufus capable of writing Iso Windows images... Mozilla Firefox broswer is also quite difficult to open... Thank you very much, and I hope these issues will be resolved...

I'm not part of the dev team but, as someone that lives and breaths hardware rather than software, my impression is that this sounds more like something going wrong with either the hardware itself or, if not, how the software is using your hardware.

(examples: maybe you installed it as MBR rather than UEFI, making the boot be slower? Maybe you're using an Nvidia GPU and are using software rendering combined with a weak CPU? Maybe you're trying to run the live ISO from a slow USB drive on a PC with a low amount of RAM and a slow mechanical hard drive that already has a swap partition on it?)

There's also a good chance that this sort of thing would be better discussed on the forum rather than here since this really does sound to me more like an issue on your side of things rather than something with Mint itself. Furthermore, this repository is likely to be archived soon which will make it impossible to make new comments. For these two reasons, I really do suggest making a thread on the forum and linking it here.

Also, regarding bootable ISOs, you may want to take a look at Ventoy since it supports both Linux and Windows ISO largely without issue, not to mention it's generally just much more convenient than Rufus.

Many issues and not much information here... Maybe you could try getting some help from the LM forums first?

Anyway, about your slow boot issue, this reminds me of a similar problem i had. I recently did a complete, fresh multiboot install for 3 systems or more. And i had a 60 secs freeze at start, and found out how to solve this. I did a big presentation of my multiboot installation, and there is a small paragraph near the end of it about this slow boot i solved:

Slow boot? Check Logs > systemd: "Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXX-XXXX." I previously had deleted this erroneous /boot/efi partition, but it was still there in /etc/fstab, thus causing some 60 seconds freeze on boot... I did a direct edit on /etc/fstab to comment out this UUID=XXXX-XXXX line. (Just add "#" at the line beginning: "# UUID=XXXX-XXXX...".) Now this is solved!

This is an abbreviated description, it might not be clear to you. In other words, go to your Main Menu > Logs, and check if there is anything suspicious like "Timed out waiting...". If so, then i guess you could try to (carefully) edit /etc/fstab to forget about some obsolete partition.

Maybe this could help? I was just guessing you might have got that problem i previously had. Else, i suggest you go on the LM forums.
