Hi,
Just update my ubuntu gnome laptop from 14.04 to 16.04 and the boot became somewhat slow.
So I did :
systemd-analyze blame
There seem to be two main processes and plymouth-quiet-wait.service
and NetworkManager-wait-online.service
. However while the network one only takes about 11 seconds the plymouth wait thing takes more than 20 seconds, which is odd because, the way I understand it, plymouth is really just the bootscreen and it waits until everything else is done.
So this looks to me like everything is ready after about 11 seconds except the boot screen thingy that waits for everything else, which takes 20 seconds.
My questions:
What does plymouth-quiet-wait.service
exactly do?
Can I somehow disable it without cutting functionality?
Thanks for reading.
Edit:
Fix found here just edit the /etc/default/grub
file to say GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
instead of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
. No more fancy loading screen but the complete bootup is now below 13 seconds.
