Ubuntu :: 10.04 Slow Boot After Login?
May 3, 2010
After keying in my passwort at the login, it takes exactly 26sec until the Desktop is ready. I have checked bootchart and it seems that the udisk-daemon is blocking the boot process for some reason. I have tried different disks, different memory, without dvd...always the same problem.
Last thing I did, was to put in the disk into another pc, different mainboard different proc and voila, it boots very quickly.
I suspect this to be due to my mainboard or proc.
Mainboard ASUS M4A78-E
AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core Processor
2x2GB DDR
Radeon HD 3300 Graphics
WDC WD5001AALS-0 500GB (System)
Seagate ST31000333AS 1TB(Backup)

I just did a fresh install of Lucid on my desktop. The boot background splash screen comes up very fast, but then it is about a 1 minute wait until the login prompt appears. Then once I enter my login credentials, GNOME loads up ASAP. It wasn't this slow before I reinstalled. Anyone know why this could be? Everything works.

When I boot up Ubuntu, it boots up fine. My question is when the login screen appears it takes a couple of seconds before the login prompt appears. I just wanted to know if this is a problem or nothing to worry about.

Upgraded from Hardy where all worked fast and the only annoying bug was a total freeze every so often. So I thought it would be good to go to the next LTS version and see if it works better. However it is very slow starting up. bootchart reports 2:44 min compared to 40 sec for Hardy and that is only the start-up. Then the real drag begins after you enter your password. It's been up to 30 min!!! before the system became responsive and did not have a solid HDD light.
So my question is where do I start troubleshooting. I'll include the bootchart and dmesg log. What else is needed to tackle this issue? I'm really in a tizzy here, since it's my wives laptop and she is not as patient as I am, to put it mildly. Do I need to downgrade back to Hardy

I have a strange issue that I cannot put my finger on. Recently,I installed a new Ubuntu 10.04 server. No extra software yet, apart from openssh-server. The wired connection (eth1) works fine. I then added a wireless card with chipset p54pci, which appears to work with the wext driver. Configured /etc/wpa_supplicant, and /etc/network/interfaces as well:
This is wpa_supplicant:
Code:
This is interfaces:
Code:
After a reboot the machine comes up with both NICs active.
If I do a ssh from another Ubuntu machine to this machine (to 192.168.2.100, so the wired address) it takes about 30 seconds before I get the login as: prompt.
If I change the interfaces file so that wlan0 is not started (I comment out the line auto wlan0, and reboot), connecting from another machine with ssh alsmost instantly gives me te login prompt.
I tried switching the order of both NICs in the interfaces file. Also tried changing the sshd config file so that it only listens on the wired ip address. Both did not help.
Does anyone have a clue why logging in with ssh from another machine is very much slower in response with wlan0 activated than without ?

I'm running CentOS with cPanel, configured to update every night.This morning my SSH login time was really slow:Code:login as: chrillechrille@example.com's password:After this step it takes about 60 seconds before I get logged in:Last login: Sat May 30 15:27:54 2009 from addr-no109.tbcn.abc.comchrille@homer [~]#I have also noticed that my PHP SOAP (network communication) calls has been really slow, and I sometimes get e-mails saying that exim is out of tcp connections.Seems like something has updated wrong this night, but I can't figure out what. I have looked in /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure, but they give me no clue.

With the upgrade to 11.3 x86_64 I was very disappointed to find that the time it took to log in to KDE once I entered my password skyrocketed. On 11.2, what used to be a speedy two seconds before I would see the desktop has now turned into 30 seconds, or more sometimes: today it was closer to 45.
disable powerdevil or to disable the KDED modules, both located in the service manager.
Disabling powerdevil does bring my login time back down to where it was in 11.2. I have several questions now: Powerdevil is described as a "laptop power management daemon" in the service manager. Is it truly only for laptops? What features does powerdevil provide? If I disable it will my CPU frequency scaling and other power management features still work?

I've been a long time Windows user, but I've started a small firm and because of lack of funds, I've decided to install Ubuntu on my company's PCs.I have 8 PCs in total - 6 of them with Intel CPUs, and the last two with AMD CPUs. I bought the extra two computers because I've managed to find an extra two people to work at my company, and AMD-based PCs are cheaper so I've decided to buy them instead of Intel.Long-story short, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 and boot time takes about half-an-hour. After the computers finally boot, USB hardware doesn't work at all. I was forced to buy PS/2 keyboards & mice and they both work fine after the PCs boot.I don't know what's causing this delay.I've enabled Cool 'n Quiet from BIOS.I've tried several instructions like editing the /etc/modules file.I've installed cpufreqd, tried to configure it, but it didn't work.I've check the CPU stats and my CPUs are running at 800MHz. I can't believe nobody managed to fix the 800MHz problem as I've noticed it's quite common among AMD Ubuntu users. I think I've tried almost anything that I've found on this forum.I can't keep asking my employees not to reboot their PCs. Both Chrome/Firefox crash a lot on Ubuntu so they're forced to restart their computers.The computer specs are: AMD Athlon II X2 240 dual-core @ 2.800MHz, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, etc.

I've got two laptops running Ubuntu. Both have had Lucid installed from the live cd. I have upgraded one of them to Maverick. Both distributions are running great after they boot up, but I haven't experienced any faster boot times with either distibution. Both boot to Bios and then the screen goes black with a blinking cursor in upper left corner of the screen. The black screen remains for 30 to 45 seconds and then I get the Ubuntu splash screen for maybe 5 seconds, and then desktop. Why am I not seeing faster boot times? I realize 45 to 60 seconds is good compared to other os's, but I anticipated much faster boot times. Shut down on the other hand is quite fast at maybe 5 to 10 seconds. Does anyone else get this black screen on boot? Seems like wasted time cause I can't tell what's going on during the time there is a black screen. This is not a real big deal breaker, as I don't reboot very often, but I just wonder why bootup isn't faster.

What can I do to speed up the start-up after login?
I am running OpenSuse 11.3 with Gnome on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 2490) and I need about two and a half minutes from login until the hard disk lamp 'settles down'. This is much longer than I have been used to expect from earlier OpenSus versions. Are there some default applications/processes I could ditch?

When I'm trying to login to the ftp server with appropriate username and password its taking almost 10-15 seconds to authenticate making the login process slow, even when I'm uploading files its again hanging for 10-15 seconds before completing the job successfully.
Its not like its happening every time, but 7 times out of 10.
Any idea how can make the authentication fast?

i am having a boot problem with opensuse.i installed a theme named suse-elegant under personal settings(configure desktop)-system administration-login screen.
i had also added vbox users(i ticked vboxusers) under yast-security and users-user and group management-edit-details to make virtual box work.
i want to check that installed theme so i restarted my laptop.after the restart opensuse taking too long time to boot
note:the login theme also not working.
after the boot i restored defaults in login screen themes.it is also not working.
i don't know which cause this problem(vboxusers or login theme).i am also seeing a root user has been added in my login area.i tried opensuse failsafe also.

I have a Dell Workstation T3400, dual core 2.6Ghz CPU. Recently I upgraded UBUNTU from 9.10 to 10.04. After the upgrade, it takes long time to boot up. First shows a blinking hyphen, then a screens with options to enter configuration utility appears. Then says GRUB loading but again blinking hyphen stays for almost a minute. Finally, I get the log in screen after about 2 minutes.... I checked some other related posts but could not find any solution that worked for me.

I've been noticing that my ubuntu 10.04 takes too long to boot lately, and now that I've upgraded to 10.10 and had the same issue, I took few minutes to investigate. from what I understand from the log files, it looks like my hard drive takes too long to mount, actually 40+ seconds to mount...
below is the section I mentioned above from my messages log:
Code:
Oct 22 08:43:22 ubuntu kernel: [ 2.076608] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
Oct 22 08:43:22 ubuntu kernel: [ 49.537272] Adding 2096444k swap on /dev/sda8. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:2096444k

I'm running 10.10 on an IBM Thinkpad R60 with 3GB RAM. I did a clean install of 9.10 and 10.04, and recently upgraded to 10.10. With all three, I'm noticing mething rather strange; after passing the PC's BIOS screen, I get a flashing cursor for about 20-30 seconds before Ubuntu starts booting. When I did the clean installs, I completely erased the hard drive, so I'm not sure what's causing it. The hard drive activity light is on when this happens, as well. It's very strange, as I have an old Dell Dimension 4550 with a slower hard drive and less RAM than the Thinkpad...yet it boots up faster, with no flashing cursor.

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an older PC (for some reason 10+ locks it up) and it takes a really long time for it to boot up. After the motherboard screen passes, I see the blinking cursor on the screen like it's loading, but it takes about five minutes until it finally boots to the OS. This isn't native to Ubuntu, it did the same thing with Mint. The PC was never this slow to boot up before, but I hadn't used it in about a year. Originally, I had WinXP and Ubuntu on it and it always started up pretty quick. Would this be a hardware problem or something else?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an external hard disk. It boots very very slow. I get a black screen for about 2 minutes, with the led of the HDD regularly blinking. The hard disk is OK, so it's type isn't the issue here. Is there anything I can do about it?
I can't (don't want to) install it on my main hard disk, since I already have Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 installed there and it's getting a bit too crowded.

I have several Ubuntu installs, including one on a flash drive. I also have a server. I want to sync my home directories from all my client installs onto my server. What I want is really a combination of two things: Unison, which enables me to work without a network connection. An SFTP filesystem so that changes are immediatly sent to the server, not JUST at login and logout, which makes login and logout extremely slow. Is there any combination I could use? Could I make unison sync extremely frequently?

I have a desktop PC with an Intel 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 CPU. 1.5 Gb of RAM, and 2 - 200 Gb Seagate HDD (1 is Windows XP only, the other is NTFS and Ubuntu partitions). It is a dual boot system using GRUB, with Windows XP the first item on the menu.lst file, and the latest Ubuntu 9.10 kernel and previous kernels the following items.
My problems are twofold since I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 of Ubuntu. First extremely slow boot to Ubuntu (multiple minutes to get to the login screen and then almost the same after login). Over all it may take up to 5 minute to get to a usable Ubuntu running. Once I'm in to Ubuntu, things seem to be okay.
Second problem is when I reboot with the "restart" from the panel, the only way I can reboot to either Ubuntu or Windows XP is to physically turn off the power switch on the back of the computer. If I don't do this the machine never restarts it just tries to start and doesn't ever get to grub start up. After powering off, and then back on the normal reboot, with grub starting and giving the menu.lst options works fine.
