Ubuntu is booting too slowly

  • 772

I recently switched from Kali/Windows 10 to Ubuntu 18.04.

Specs:

  • CPU: Intel i5 7200U
  • RAM: 8GB
  • GPU: Nvidia 940mx and a dedicated Intel GPU
  • HDD: 1TB

With the above specs I get a 1 minute 15 second boot time and after I login with my password it takes another 15 seconds. Is this normal with a HDD? Should I buy an SSD or is there something wrong?

  1. you can this command 

    systemd-analyze blame

    this command prints a list of all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize. This information used to optimize boot-up times.

    find which service take more time and is not necessary you can use

    systemctl disable <service-name>

    to remove service from startup.
