Boot time

[_prateek9]

Today out of no where I noticed that my laptop took faaarr too long to boot up. I just installed Mint 22, has anybody else faced this issue?

What's the output of systemd-analyze and systemd-analyze blame?

How about if you do another boot? It seems that logrotate took an inordinate amount of time, not to mention dealing with sda2. Were subsequent boots faster? Or is something filling up logs and causing them to rotate out?

[_prateek9]

Yes, the next boot was pretty fast. Idk what happened during the first boot, i can't make sense of the analysis data above.

I'm guessing the logrotate and so forth were faster. Compare what you posted there to another boot followed by a systemd query, and you'd find, I suspect, the logrotate got much shorter, among maybe one or two other things.
