I just recently upgraded my kubuntu install from karmic to lucid and now it takes about 10-15 minutes to boot. Directly after the upgrade it was pretty slow already, but it got worse every day from then. The karmic version was a wubi install I moved to a dedicated partition using lvpm. Here are the results from the bootinfoscript code...
View 9 Replies10.04 boasts a very quick boot time, but after upgrading, I've been having a much slower boot than in 9.10. It hangs at the screen when it says
Boot from (hd1, 0) ext3
Starting up...
It stays at this screen for a good 15 seconds before showing me the login screen. I've attached the results from a boot info script.
Since upgrading my mythbuntu box from lucid to maverick my boot times have been much slower. Looking at dmesg I can see delays. Can anyone who knows more than me point me in the right direction to fix these?

Can't boot after upgrade to 2.6.31-19 kernel. Boot procedure stops on "Mounting root file system..." stage with message:

When I did my upgrade and logged into Unity I had no panels at all.
Turns out it was code...
I had this to get smoother HD playback but it seems it wasn't needed anymore. Video playback was just as good as before even when I removed this.
I tried to upgrade to 10.10 using update manager but it gave the error below each time i tried.

I finally had to run Ubuntu from a CD in nomodeset
Then when I go to install Ubuntu the only options it gives (regarding my harddrive) are to format my whole hardrive or do the partitioning. I have seen screenshots though where there is a third option on the same page to install ubuntu alongside a prior OS and dual boot.
Does anyone know why the "install alongside a prior OS (dual boot)" option doesn't show up?
I have a dual boot (2 hard drive) system, and upgraded to 10.4. Booting into XP results in a flashing cursor that doesn't do anything. I know that GRUB screwed everything up, but I need to know what to do--and assume I don't know what I'm doing--to restore my dual boot ability.
Here's what I get after running a boot info script code...

My first attempt at seeking help has not been very successful. Probably to much of a narrative. If you want to know How I got in this mess see my first post.
Machine: Asus Eee PC 1015
What I know: I can't boot into anything but Live USB
What I think: Win7 starter is still there
Mint9 is lurking as well
Vista recovery partition exists
What I don't have: External USB DVD or CD drive
Win7 Recovery
What I need code...
I am getting a much slower boot with the 10.04 upgrade. After choosing which partition to use I get the blinking white cursor in the upper left hand corner and the "Boot from (hd0,4) ext 3..." sits there for a while before coming to the log in screen. There have been quite a few posts about this, a lot of people are saying disabling the floppy drive in the BIOS has worked for them. I don't have a floppy drive on my laptop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've seen this issue mentioned before, but it appears their cause was different than mine.Here is a snippet of my dmesg log:

I'm not exactly sure what that is or why that's causing it to take so long to do.
I've created my own wheezy live usb-hdd using:# lb config -a i386 --mode debian --distribution wheezy --linux-flavours 686 -b usb-hdd --bootloader syslinux --memtest none -p xfce
P: Considering defaults defined in /etc/live/build.conf
P: Creating config tree
# lb build
The binary.img was created.
Now if I try to boot from this image using qemu, I get a message "No bootable device"
If I check this main partition using gparted, the flag is "lba" instead of "boot".
Even doesn't work if try to change to "boot".
How to solve this problem?
I don't think any changes have been made to my laptop, but it suddenly loads Ubuntu extremely slowly. The time it takes to get from the Toshiba boot screen to the Ubuntu Log-in screen takes easily 20x as long.
Has anyone else been experiencing this kind of lag or have any ideas where to begin?
My 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade has been running now for 2 hours and says it has 15 hours left! Are the servers just max'ed out with people upgrading? We bit worried too after seeing posts that say that some Nvidia cards aren't working with 11.04 but I'll have to wait and see for mine. (Quadro FX 3800)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, and Firefox is painfully slow to use. Changing between already loaded tabs takes almost a second. Scrolling through a loaded tab is also slow and jerky. Other programs (e.g. Thunderbird, or just browsing the filesystem) also seem slower when Firefox is running.
I'm running Firefox 3.5.6. My PC is Compaq Presario 2200 laptop (about four years old) with 768 MB RAM. As another data point, I also have the most recent version of Linux Mint installed on the same PC, running Firefox 3.5.3, with no problems. I've searched, and some problems have apparently been due to DNS problems, but I have problems when I'm offline (wifi physically removed), looking at webpages saved on my disk, which are already fully loaded, so it's not a DNS problem. I did try steps 1 - 7
I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 lts yesterday. The upgrade went smoothly. but now I have a very slow internet connection. It is as if I am on a dial up when I have a broadband speed of 20 MB. What can I do to fix or perhaps roll-back the installation to the previous proper working state.

Any way to speed this up? I've already tried disabling my nonexistent floppy drive in the bios, but it didn't help.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
When booting a fresh install of Karmic 9.10 grub grumbles quite a bit. I do have 2 600gb sata drives with various partitions but never have the older grubs taken a solid 15 seconds to sort out the drives before launching.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy 9.01 worked fine since upgrading to 10.04 i find the boot process hangs for about 30 secs displaying

I have googled this problem and the only thing i could find is that disconnection the dvd drives sorts it! but i cannot find a workaround.
my laptop's boot speed has been tremendously dropped (approximately from 30 secs to 3-4 minutes) after I've upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04.What do you recommend me to check in order to get back my lost time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedFirst of all i would like to inform that I am new to Ubuntu. I had Ubuntu 9.04 install on my HP Pav. Laptop with Winxp. Before some days I upgraded it first to 9.10 and then to 10.04 as suggested in Ubuntu site. After the upgrade I found that the boot up is very slow. I heard and read that Ubuntu 10.04 has very fast booting but I don't experience that, though shutdown is faster.
I read many threads on this forum about slow booting and tried to resolve the issue using those, but nothing is working. I also installed bootchart and tried to get something out of it, but frankly saying I don't understand that chat . I have 1gb of ram.
I have attached the bootchart image. Please help to find the problem.
I'm not a Linux noob, by any stretch, but this is driving me INSANE. I have an Acer Aspire 4320 laptop, and I'm trying to install 10.10 on it. The LiveCD, and the LiveUSB, take over 3+ HOURS to boot to a desktop. Then, it can't format the drive. Am I missing boot options (i.e. 'noapic') or something?
Do I set the drive in bios to ide or AHCI? (If set to ide, it takes ALOT longer..approx 45 min to get to the "run" or "install" screen) EDIT: I did manage ONCE to get to 'check this drive for errors', no killers found. (At the 'keyboard screen, I pressed 'space'). Do I need to add any other options here?
Just to make this clear after I installed Ubuntu 10.10 I downloaded everything and updated everything but when I booted into my Windows side I was shocked that the boot time was so freaking fast but after logging in the start up programs took about 10 minutes and I was able to use my windows after total of 15 minutes I know this is a lot the reason as I think is the GRUB file is actually slowing my windows because it doesn't want to harm my hard drive this is just a guess.
[The prize of the worst OS ever goes to Windows Vista!]
I have a Samsung N130 with XP and Ubuntu 10.04. One day I entered the Vista Loader in the GRUB 1.98 and it took me into the Samsung Recovery Partition! Now my BIOS reboots in a loop and no GRUB is shown anywhere! F9 does work (Long Beep is heard) and F2 (Recovery). I tried the UBUNTU install CD and I get a STd error and my drive slows down.
View 7 Replies View RelatedNo wireless after upgrading to linux kernel 3.0 in opensuse 11.4. I'm using Kde and gnome 3, everything was working fine under the 2.6.39 kernel, but now both only detects my wired connection. Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I have a Netgear WNDA3100 adapter that uses the Atheros drivers. It also is no longer detected in my Fedora 15 after upgrading the kernel, but it still works in Mint 11 with the 2.6.38.8 kernel.
