Another good way to speed up the boot time of Ubuntu.

by

My Ubuntu 18.04 system was taking a long time to boot, but I have analyzed the problem with Systemd and now it should boot faster.

Run this command to see which service takes the longest at boot time.

4.4 Thu Oct 17 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ systemd-analyze blame | head -n 10
    2min 10.235s apt-daily.service
         55.956s apt-daily-upgrade.service
         35.843s dev-mapper-fedora\x2droot.device
         33.052s plymouth-quit-wait.service
         31.171s mysql.service
         28.407s systemd-journal-flush.service
         27.098s nftables.service
         25.097s phpsessionclean.service
         20.476s snapd.seeded.service
         20.302s snapd.service

It was the apt services that were taking the longest to boot, but I could disable those services with Systemd and now my system should boot faster.

Just use sudo systemctl disable to disable unwanted services.

And

4.4 Thu Oct 17 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ sudo systemctl disable apt-daily-upgrade.service

This should work for you, do not disable required services, but I do not need my system updating automatically every time it boots.
