Troubleshoot slow system startup
Problem
System takes few minutes to start, but eventually it does get to the graphical user interface.
Check
You can check how much time the system exactly needed to start if you run this command in terminal:
systemd-analyze
It will output something like this:
To see how long each of the services took to start, run:
systemd-analyze blame
which should give:
Use ↑ and ↓ to scroll the output, use Q to quit the command (to exit).
To output this into a text file, use:
systemd-analyze blame > startup.log
which will create startup.log text file in your home directory.
Solution
If you see some service took suspiciously longer time to start, you have to search the system logs to see if there is any particular problem. For example, running:
sudo journalctl -x -b -u NetworkManager-wait-online.service
will list logs just for this service, while running:
sudo journalctl -x -b
will allow you to examine all logs for the current boot session to see if there is any particular problem causing the slow system start.
