Slow boot after upgrading to SSD
by BernardSmith from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EYTK)
Hi I have recently upgraded from mint 18.1 to 20.1
When every thing was working ok , I swapped the Hdd to a SSD (Crucial 240gb) and reinstalled system from a Timeshift backup.
However I now find it takes 2min 28 seconds from power on to the login prompt when booting.
I didn't time it on the HDD but guess it was about 35 seconds.
I have checked Stacer and there are no startup apps running.
Any ideas please ?
hardware :-
Toshiba satellite laptop about 9 years old C870-17F , 4gb memory, external Seagate 2TB usb drive.
booting into Linux mint 20.1 cinnamon 64 bit only (no dual boot, windows partition deleted at last upgrade)
