So I went through some logs and besides having a LOT of plymouth messages in the boot log cycling from "A start job is running for Tell Plymouth To Write Out Runtime Data" to "A start job is running for Show Plymouth Boot Screen", I noticed the kernel log throwing several KMS timeout errors as well.
So I googled a bit and found out this thread: https://askubuntu.com/questions/893817/boot-very-slow-because-of-drm- kms-helper-errors It patched the bug for me. No longer slow boot/shutdown and strange freezings in the Settings menus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769309 Title: Ubuntu 18.04 boot extremely slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1769309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
