Couldn't determine if the messages in append #15 had anything to do with the boot delay so went back to the timeout message and looked at the task that failed to start (at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop). It starts a launcher for Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface. Since at this time I've no use I'm removing the .desktop file and see what breaks.
As a side note bug 1595383 complains about the excessive timeout time (90 sec) and that it should be shorten or configurable. I agree. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599110 Title: Blank screen 90 sec boot delay Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Tried to document this problem under bug 1559595 but have been requested to submit a new bug. Been having an intermittent problem booting (started on 16.04 and continues across multiple system rebuilds and 16.10) where just after entering my PW the screen goes blank for about 90 seconds. After that interval the normal desktop appears and all is well. Will supply a journal boot log of a failing boot (boot_0704.txt) and a normal boot log (boot_0704_good.txt). Do see in the failing log and all others that I have looked at a gnome-session timeout (time 06:16:41). Don't see this type of entry in the good log but haven't examined many non- failure logs.
