• Slow boot under Mint 22.3

    From pinnerite@3:633/10 to All on Friday, May 08, 2026 17:42:39
    Two lines seem to delay the process. hang these up. This is one of them:

    andgpu 0000:00:00.0: [drm] REG WAIT timeout lus* 100000 tries - optc31 disable_crtc line:145

    The other seems to be searching for btfrs file systems which I have never used. Mine are are all ext4!

    How can I clean this up?

    This is on a new machine which has another problem that requires another thread.

    you have stage to start the desktop...

    they are a logic step by step...

    i suspect your fstab is not good...so you have a sort bad loop.

    the kernel start...but after is not good...

    may be is a new install ? so, see the uuid in grub cfg and in /etc/fstab

    you can find grub.cfg in 2 place, first in the uefi part fat32...second
    in /boot/grub

    may be you boot with only a drive in your machine...but the install
    don't write well /dev/sda it write /dev/sdb

    so " b " is drive 2 no the principal drive...

    if it is a tower...not a Trump tower, but a PC tower ok ! so see the
    sata connexion...the sata 0 in not the same with sata1 !!!

    some we plug in sata 1...and is not a good practice ! one here is B and
    0 is A ( /dev/sda )

    try that ?


    after i don't !

    see if boot and in the same time you others disk plugged ! uefi DON'T
    like that !!! you must plug it afer when you are on desktop ! :o)

    see well the config file !

    may be is just the uuid for the swap part !!! sometime...one driver
    and other drive, a part...and a OS, and other swap...and..and...your

    The only drive in this machine is a 2TB NVMe, formatted tom ext4(?)

    Le seul disque de cette machine est un NVMe de 2 To, format? en ext4 (?)

    I will look at fstab though.

    NaN ! i see 2 swap part for me is not good. and the uuid are unit for
    each part each disk ! so yours uuid can not to be my uuid ! here i can
    not to be sure for the uudi for your nvme part... i hope the disk is
    convert in gpt table and they are...a efi part fat32 ...may be it could
    work well without efi part fat32 if grub is in the MBR, they are a MBR
    in a uefi disk ! grub => grub.cfg => kernel 'll start

    your part is strange ! home in p4 swap in p3 but i think it could work,
    the OS is the MASTER BIOS hight level program so, it 'll do with !

    comment all lignes and try this :



    /dev/nvme0n1p2 / ext4 nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1ms 0 0

    /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 0

    Germane is probably right. In my experience, when the boot sequence starts
    to include "searches for things you do not have", this is a sign it
    cannot find the swap on the machine. This is at the initramfs level.
    I have run into problems like this in the past, while multi-booting.
    Each OS messes with the swap partition, screwing up the previous OS details
    in this orbit.

    https://serverfault.com/questions/17718/how-do-i-change-swap-partition-in-linux

    "( says taken from https://askubuntu.com/questions/196364/i-have-enabled-hibernate-but-it-isnt-working-what-can-i-do/196365#196365 )

    # prepare your partitions
    swapoff /dev/sda2
    mkswap /dev/sda3
    swapon /dev/sda3

    # find swap uuid
    sudo blkid | grep swap
    # OR
    sudo echo ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep sda3 | cut -d' ' -f8 >> /etc/fstab

    # edit swap entry in /etc/fstab
    gksu gedit /etc/fstab

    # edit the uuid line in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
    gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

    # In terminal, execute this command
    sudo update-initramfs -u

    you can test your hibernation here, if it doesn't work:

    # check your /etc/default/grub file
    gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

    # Depending on your version : if a line looks like
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=UUID=<old_swap_partition_uuid>"
    # then modify it accordingly; otherwise that's all, you're done

    # execute in terminal
    sudo update-grub
    "

    It consists of two parts

    repairing the initrd file using update-initramfs

    passing the same info about the resume UUID, into the grub menu via update-grub

    There is lots of other stuff about uswsusp for hibernate and suspend,
    that is past my pay scale, and your home theater machine needs stuff
    like that to be working. There is no particular reason for that to be
    broken, but I mention that as a keyword for later.

    first ! i hope all it 's ok...no append a bad think...

    two, i think is better for him if we just speak about
    the step " find the part " after the kernel...

    fpr me is a good think to see what is this 2 files system...
    because after...it's finish...we have a new user.

    i 'll not speak about initrd ! is a tiny part of the OS in RAM !

    you have stage to start the desktop...

    they are a logic step by step...

    i suspect your fstab is not good...so you have a sort bad loop.

    the kernel start...but after is not good...

    may be is a new install ? so, see the uuid in grub cfg and in /etc/fs
    tab

    you can find grub.cfg in 2 place, first in the uefi part fat32...seco
    nd
    in /boot/grub

    may be you boot with only a drive in your machine...but the install
    don't write well /dev/sda it write /dev/sdb

    so " b " is drive 2 no the principal drive...

    if it is a tower...not a Trump tower, but a PC tower ok ! so see the
    sata connexion...the sata 0 in not the same with sata1 !!!

    some we plug in sata 1...and is not a good practice ! one here is B a
    nd
    0 is A ( /dev/sda )

    try that ?


    after i don't !

    see if boot and in the same time you others disk plugged ! uefi DON'T
    like that !!! you must plug it afer when you are on desktop ! :o)

    NaN ! i see 2 swap part for me is not good. and the uuid are unit for

    convert in gpt table and they are...a efi part fat32 ...may be it could
    work well without efi part fat32 if grub is in the MBR, they are a MBR
    in a uefi disk ! grub => grub.cfg => kernel 'll start

    your part is strange ! home in p4 swap in p3 but i think it could work,

    The final fstab swap line was erroneous. I checked the partition details fr
    om "Disks" and then deleted the erroneous ine.

    I still cannot boot up unless in Recovery Mode.
    I am very tempted to reinstall, although reinitialising will be a nightmare.

    ????? you can not boot with the linux mint live and rewrite fstab ????? strange !!!!

    YES ! the tool disk is fun, you don't need command line.
    you can see the each uuid part for each connected disk !
    so, you...coulds not have a bad file fstab!

    don't forget, they are 2 files system to boot ! and each have
    a syntaxe !!!
    grub need find grub.cfg and grub start to 0
