New install LL3 tkes over 1minute to boot

New install LL3.0 works well but very slow to start
@mydesktop:~$  systemd-analyze blame

As I do not use windows and this is a stand alone desktop only using LL can I dispense with samba or any others

Once up and running no problems encoutered

Cool Mike, good to see people making use of SystemD

[torreydale]

Jerry may have inadvertently left you hanging on this one.  I haven't started  using systemd yet, so as a precaution, I would create a restore point using Systemback first before I did.  And then yes, my educated guess, like yours, would be to stop Samba or that nmdb service, which do appear to be your biggest offenders on startup.

Tweaked a few settings

Still seems to take a long time to be available for use
Looking at jerrys systemd post which was mainly mille-seconds as against seconds on this machine
is there anything else I can address to get it back to normal boot speeds
my old LL 2.8 seemed a lot faster
I have that still on another partition but it wont boot from the LL 3.0 grub

Cheers mike

I'm tapped out on suggestions.  My 2.8 systems get to the login screen in 25 seconds or less, but after logging in it can take a few more, but not a full minute.  I also notice it less because I don't reboot often.  While at home I suspend my laptop and desktop.  When I need to leave home with my laptop, I hibernate it.  Very few full starts from a power off state, and so that makes things faster for me.

But if you're experiencing reduced performance in 3.0 from 2.8 with the same hardware, I'm stumped.

LL 2.8 64 bit was booting from power onto desktop in 12 seconds.
Have just timed LL 3.0 64 bit on same hardware....14 seconds.

Not going to get worried about it.

LL 3.0 running great. 

Even Google chrome seems to be behaving itself.

@miken242, this would be a good time to ask for a system report. Menu, System, Create System Report. https://www.135978621.xyz/manual/hardw...#sysreport

[miken242]

System report as asked by jerry

[torreydale]

On not being able to boot LL 2.8, you may want to consider the Hardware -> Dual Boot - Modification/Repair procedure listed in the Linux Lite Manual. 

On another note, it appears you have an NVIDIA graphics card.  I cannot tell for sure what driver is being used for it.  Have you looked to see if there are other options using Install Drivers?  Menu -> Settings -> Install Drivers

[valtam]

Most of the hardware there looks good, except for the HDD. It's using 40 pin IDC interface, so you will get slower read/writes. This will impact anything that needs to access the HDD, like the init system. I'd like to see boot up with an SSD in the same pc I could also recommend you switch to upstart on 3.0 If you're willing to try that, i can leave instructions, as long as you don't mind wiping your system.
