[New user] Slow booting

pLaYeR45 systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 1.803s (kernel) + 1min 9.186s (initrd) + 1.186s (userspace) = 1min 12.176s

Note that the time delay (1min 9.186s) occurs at the second stage (initrd) of the process. Although the lag doesn't show up in the detail you reported, the lag exists.

What I would suggest at this point is that you run sudo journalctl -b again (no need to reboot; it will report your most recent boot) and scroll down the long list of log entries.

Using my example timestamp from above, you should see one or more points with a large time difference between one process and the next. That is where the lag is happening. If you can find it, copy the 4-5 lines above the time lag and the 4-5 lines below the time lag, and we might be able to see what is happening.

pLaYeR45 i think the slow boot is because of my hitachi hard drive (320gb).This drive has lot of bad sectors and it is not working.

I'm missing something, I think.

Your initial report ("I have a 32gb samsung ssd (22gb free) and it use boot windows 10 under 25 seconds. Now after installing solus budgie it takes nearly 3mins to boot the system ...") suggested that you are booting off the 32GB Samsung drive. The screen you displayed shows that the 320GB Hitachi hard drive is what is failing. What does a report on the 32GB Samsung drive show? If the 32GB Samsung is okay, and you are booting off the Samsung, then probably it isn't a bad sector issue unless the 320GB Hitachi drive is somehow accessed during boot. What do you have on the 320GB hard drive that might be involved with booting Solus?

pLaYeR45 Did i just break the system?

Who knows, but your system isn't working right. None of the terminal commands we've been discussing in this thread could break anything. I doubt you broke anything. Something is wrong with your installation.

pLaYeR45 Do i need to install it again?

If I were you, I would at this point. Your current installation isn't working and a reinstall might be the simplest solution.

If you decide to install again, don't do anything fancy. When you get to "How should I install?" point in the installation process, select the "wipe the entire drive and install a fresh version" option rather than the "install along side existing operating system" option. I don't remember the exact words, the but the choice should be obvious. The idea is to completely wipe your drive and start fresh.

pLaYeR45 is there any way i can stop system to access this hard drive ?

I don't know. Solus is set up on the 32 GB Samsung, exactly as you said, and the boot partition (sdb1) is on that drive. I don't know why Solus is trying to access the 320 GB HJitachi (sda), unless there is something in the BIOS boot process that looks for a boot partition on sda first, and then, not finding a boot partition on sda, looks to sdb, where it finds the boot partition. But that is just a guess, and not an informed guess.

pLaYeR45 I have no problem in deleting 320 gb hard drive and it doesnt have any of my data. I dont want to remove 320gb hdd manually i just want solus to not access it and try reading it.The problem with manually removing is that i am not good at disassembling laptop if it was in pc i could have easily removed it.

I spent the morning coaching one of my grandsons through the process of disassembling his laptop so that he could install more RAM. He was all thumbs at first, of course, but as we went through the process, he got more confident and more skilled. But his laptop is an older Dell Latitude I gave him, and it has a metal case designed for easy disassembly. I'm all thumbs myself when it comes to the plastic cases, even though I've done it many times and have the plastic tools needed for the job. So I understand what you are saying.

I have two thoughts that might help.

(1) Go into BIOS (this document is a resource to find the right key combination to get into BIOS if you don't know it for your laptop) and see if you can disable the 320GB hard drive in BIOS. I can do it on my Dell computers, but BIOS capabilities vary, so you might not be able to do so. If you can disable the drive in BIOS, Solus might not look to it at all during the boot process.

(2) If that doesn't work, and nobody else comes along with a better idea, you are probably going to have to get the drive out of the machine (better yet, replace it with a cheap SATA 2.5" SSD). That means you will will have to disassemble the laptop. Because I am not good at cracking the case on plastic laptops, one of the things I do is look for a YouTube video showing how to open the case for the make/model I'm working with, or a make/model that is close. There is usually a trick to it (start at a specific point, and so on), and once I know the trick, I can usually do it. Another possibility is to see if you can find a friend who is good at this stuff and get your friend to do it for you.

Try wiping the disk do not reformat it or anything just wipe it and try that system I think would not
see it then. (may not wipe if its to far gone)
I havent wiped any disks with linux not sure of program in linux maybe somebody knows
If the hitachi has any boot info on it the uefi probably grabbing it and causing the hang.
But I would do Like tom said disable it in bios,and I dont know your boot sequence either if that disk is first in list might be hanging it. Best thing do is remove it from laptop.

pLaYeR45 The problem is if i try to mount and clean the hdd. The laptop starts to make clicking noise and becomes very slow and unresponsive.

That clicking noise is the hard drive's death rattle.

Axios I dont know your boot sequence either if that disk is first in list might be hanging it.

@pLaYeR45 Consider going back into your BIOS, look for a BIOS entry labeled "Boot Sequence" or similar, and look to see what boot loaders are present.

Solus boot loader is normally called "Linux Boot Manager", Windows boot loader is normally called "Windows Boot Manager", and other Linux builds (the ones that use Grub) are called by different names (for example, on my computer, Ubuntu Budgie's bootloader is called "Ubuntu").

If you can identify the Solus boot loader (simple if it is named "Linux Boot Manager"), try two things: (1) move the Solus boot loader to the top of the boot sequence list, and (2) if your BIOS permits, see if you can disable/remove all the other boot loaders from the list. Either might move the Hitachi hard drive out of the boot path.

I did not comment To deep on UEFI because I only have 2 computers that use it out of all my windows machines
and its something I am reading up on and finally this new machine I got has all the boot loader stuffs I read
about on here (I am slow at change if it works I dont change it..lol) cant wait to mess it all up either...ROFL!

This was good reading the guy works at Redhat..
