I don't have much knowledge bout systemd, either :-) I just did a "man systemd" and found the options of systemd. "man systemd" says that we can use pass these kernel parameters to systemd:
systemd.service_watchdogs=true systemd.show_status=true systemd.log_level=debug systemd.dsystemd.default_standard_output=kmsg systemd.default_standard_error=kmsg I tried these by adding them into /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually, at the end of the line "linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-23-generic ...". I also replaced "quiet splash $vt_handoff" with "ignore_loglevel". So I can get more messages from systemd, but not so much as I expected. Not sure if this would be helpful to troubleshoot the long delay issue for you, and I'm not even sure if I enabled the systemd loggong completely correctly -- again, I'm not really familiar with systemd. :-) To stop/disble a systemd "service", I think we can use something like this (taking the setvtrgb.service as an example): systemctl stop setvtrgb.service systemctl disable setvtrgb.service systemctl status setvtrgb.service -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848534 Title: [Microsoft Hyper-V guest] System shows graphic artifacts for a moment, then text cursor for about minute and then starts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1848534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
