Since your mentioning it's black screen before the desktop shows up. Install a tool called bootchart, and reboot your system once or twice.

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install bootchart

Then you ofc reboot your machine

The boot chart image will appear in /var/log/bootchart/*.png with the username and host + the date as the file name.

You can safety remove bootchart after sharing the generated .png file with us to review, and see if something there is the cause of the slow down for you.
The Truth is out there.
Be sure to check the Manual out and always report Bugs or feature requests.

Start with USB devices. Before you turn on your pc, unplug every USB device. Then boot up.

The only usb device i have plugged in during boot is the mouse.


Edit: I timed the complete bootup. From pushing the power button untill complete booted up took 95 seconds. It took 70 seconds untill the screen went black. From the moment i saw black screen up to completed bootup (visible desktop) took 25 seconds.

Look at Menu, Settings, Session and Startup. Application Autostart tab. Screenshot for us all the apps that auto start at boot.

I noticed that the time it takes for my laptop to boot is much longer then it was just after a fresh install.
In the beginning it booted up quickly but now it takes much longer, at the end of the boot i have to wait several (about 10) seconds with a black screen before i see the desktop and can use the laptop.


Is this normal or is my laptop starting to get old?
