Slow boot time - Chris24 - 12-01-2022

Hi All
I just installed Lite a couple of days ago and am very pleased with the OS except for one thing; on my old Acer laptop (Pentium P6200, 3gb RAM, 500GB HD, on which I cleared everything before installation) the machine is taking around 3 minutes to boot. Any suggestions?

Many thanks for any help.

Chris

Topic moved to Startup and Shutdown section.

Using an SSD (if not already) reduces the time required for disk access.

Checking what these commands show might be a starting point to see how the boot up time is spent.

Code:
systemd-analyze

Code:
systemd-analyze blame

Code:
systemd-analyze critical-chain

Code:
journalctl -b -0

(run this just after a boot)

If unnecessary services are being started at boot, disabling them may help.
Setting static addressing if possible removes the DHCP time

A CPU from 2010 won't give you blistering performance against the demands of modern software. Try [member=9039]stevef[/member] suggestions too.
