Linux Lite Forums

Greetings everyone,
I too am experiencing very slow boot up times.From a previous post about this, I entered systemd-analyze blame and here is the output:
1min 5.921s vboxadd.service
    1min 3.906s plymouth-quit-wait.service
        35.413s keyboard-setup.service
        34.980s dev-sda5.device
        34.756s ufw.service
        33.792s systemd-journal-flush.service
        30.203s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
        11.342s lvm2-monitor.service
        10.889s systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service
          8.384s systemd-udevd.service
          4.632s ModemManager.service
          4.074s NetworkManager.service
          3.972s networking.service
          3.939s accounts-daemon.service
          3.459s udisks2.service
          3.227s lightdm.service
          2.778s resolvconf-pull-resolved.service
          2.665s nmbd.service
          2.511s polkit.service
          2.171s rsyslog.service
          2.165s networkd-dispatcher.service
          1.906s smbd.service
          1.535s colord.service

Does anyone know what I can do to speed up boot time based on this output ?
Thanks,

Hello txm0523,

vboxadd is using the most time , if you are not using virtualbox you can stop this service following the commands [member=2]Jerry[/member] provides in this thread -
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/relea...-released/

I did try the recommendation you posted, but it did not help. Vbox service still active, even after unchecking in the Startup options.
On my PC I dual boot Linux Lite and another Linux distro.I deleted that distro off the partition and utilized the Boot Repair function of Linux Lite, then rebooted.Boot up time is a little bit faster, so I ran the Systemd-analyze Blame from the command line againHere is what came up:
systemd-analyze blame
        17.881s vboxadd.service
        12.986s plymouth-quit-wait.service
        12.083s keyboard-setup.service
        11.809s ufw.service
        11.565s dev-sda5.device
        11.019s systemd-journal-flush.service
          5.484s motd-news.service
          4.611s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
          3.564s grub-common.service
          3.417s accounts-daemon.service
          3.208s ModemManager.service
          3.170s NetworkManager.service
          2.415s networkd-dispatcher.service
          2.106s systemd-udevd.service
          2.081s udisks2.service
          1.760s thermald.service
          1.759s apport.service
          1.755s console-kit-log-system-start.service
          1.721s systemd-logind.service
          1.697s alsa-restore.service
          1.692s lm-sensors.service
          1.692s avahi-daemon.service
          1.691s rsyslog.service

So, it appears that somehow dual booting was causing the problem ?  I don't know.Also, don't know why vbox service still pops up, although with a much shorter time limit even after running those commands and unchecking vbox service in the Startup options.Does this mean it's resolved or is there something else going on ?
Thanks,

I am not sure.
Someone will know about this.
