This bug affected me with Ubuntu 17.04 on a Dell D630 laptop as well. I applied the workaround that was suggested on the mentioned Arch forum thread (disabling S-video). Add "video=SVIDEO-1:d" to the kernel boot options in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=SVIDEO-1:d" Then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot. It cut my boot time from two minutes to 40 seconds. I have no S-video connector anyway, so this works for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685442 Title: Errors: flip_done timed out during boot-up; slow boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1685442/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
