The Boot is Taking 2 minutes. I have reduced the startup apps and all but it is still taking 2 minutes. Grub tim is set to 2 seconds. Any other sugestions?

Did this "slow" boot start at the same time as your other post; where apps are not launching?
- What have you changed/installed??

There maybe a common thread to your issues...

In the LL4.x series I know one could gain performance if not planning on using VirtualBox and removing. Run the following commands 1 at a time:

Code:
sudo apt purge virtualbox*
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd-service.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd-service.service

Are you running LL3.8 and system as shown in your profile?

Dual core w/ 1gb with spinning disk might be close.. Try the above - see if any increase...


If this started after installing/changing something -- did you create a TimeShift* back up as of yet? preferably prior to the issue starting - if you have, you may want to visit restoring as an option. 
-* TimeShift = LL4.x  or  SystemBack = LL3.x

Thank for replying mahn ?.

The boot time is 2 minutes ish from the beginning itself but the problem with launching apps started recently.

I haven't changed anything as I am new to linux? but I have installed some third party apps like Midori, syspeek, etc.

Virtual box is already deleted from system.

My profile is correct. I am running LL 3.8 32 bit version on a sony laptop which has a dual core clocked at 2.5 ghz and 1 GB ram.

I am running linux in dual boot from different partitions actually. I kept windows as a backup if mess up something. Would that effect the boot time ??
Unless you have an SSD on board, that boot time is about right for such low specs.
Can you please help me with the other post I've made [member=2]Jerry[/member] 
Hi,

Does the Windwos also take a long time to boot?

If so, maybe your hard drive is defective.In Windows, you could install CrytalDiskInfo to check (i.e. checking it's SMART status).https://osdn.net/projects/crystaldiskinf...8_4_2.exe/

In Linux, I never had to check this yet but I'm guessing there is a simple tool to do that.  Wink
systemd-bootchart plus pybootchartgui will at least allow you to see what's happening in the boot process - and how long each bit is taking. May help.
