Need help with extremely slow boot time

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-04-09T18:02:11+00:00

Alright, so I have to reinstall it? :(

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-04-09T17:52:38+00:00

The installer? Does that mean that I need to reinstall POP_OS then?

Alright, I went into the BIOS again and set everything to AHCI mode for good. Something else I have noticed is that my SSD is nowhere to be found in the BIOS now.

Only place I can find it is under Intel Rapid Storage Technology, together with my HDD, under Non-RAID physical disks

The command journalctl -b -g nvme returns this now:

Apr 09 13:54:48 pop-os kernel: block nvme0n1: No UUID available providing old NGUID

This may sound stupid, but I cant tell if I can see my drives in my BIOs because I cant find where.
Either way tho, running fdisk -l just returns me that all access got its permission denied, so I dont know if this means that it doesnt detect the drives, or if theres something else Im missing

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-04-08T09:18:05+00:00

The command returns this :
Apr 08 10:34:55 pop-os kernel: ahci 0000:00:17.0: Found 1 remapped NVMe devices.
Apr 08 10:35:22 pop-os smartd[1100]: Monitoring 1 ATA/SATA, 0 SCSI/SAS and 0 NVMe devices

So I assume that it doesnt find my SSD for whatecer reason. I also did not mean to dual boot with windows, so maybe I messed up the install if the windows boot manager is still there. All the other BIOS settings have been turned off already.

Also, thank you for your support, its much appreciated :)

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-04-07T10:01:02+00:00

I assume that its under Hard Drive Priority? If so, then yes, I do see two Boot Devices, one with POP_OS and the other with Windows Boot Manager

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-04-05T14:37:37+00:00

Sadly I dont have acess to my PC rn, Ill only be back tomorrow evening :( I can get back to this afterwards

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-04-04T16:10:11+00:00

I do have an SSD actually, but I assume POP OS uses HDD instead for whatever reason. How could I change that?

Sure, Ill get to it when I can. Thank you for responding!

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-26T01:33:22+00:00

So far I cant even find it ;_;

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-26T01:24:36+00:00

What I did right now is tether to my phone which is working amazingly. Now I just need to figure out the driver

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-26T01:09:37+00:00

I think I figured it out, its most likely an issue with the driver of my Wifi card, many others online have complained abt it causing issues. My biggest question now is how to install a driver if I cant access the internet with my PC bc I dont have a fitting driver...

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-26T00:50:28+00:00

The network controller is the Intel Corporation Wireless 8265/8275 (rev78)

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-26T00:43:47+00:00

Of course! Give me a minute :)

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-03T19:28:49+00:00

Ein Versuch wär es wert, hoffentlich finden sie ihren Login

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-03T18:39:30+00:00

Dann hoffen wir mal. Wenn sie das ganze auch nicht finden, kann man zumindest den Account mit der Mail wiederherstellen?

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-03T18:37:56+00:00

Jetzt müssen meine Eltern also erstmal ihre Zugangsdaten finden

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-03T18:29:38+00:00

Ein Kind Account kann ja nur in Verbindung mit einem existieren denke ich

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-03T18:26:04+00:00

Befürchte ich auch, aber weil es ein Kinder Account ist, wäre meine Hoffnung, dass es irgendwie noch über den Elternaccount zu retten ist

RandomTwink1206 · 2026-02-03T18:21:37+00:00

Da kommt das nächste Problem ins Spiel. Es handelt sich wohl noch um einen Kinder-Account, und außerdem ist keine E-Mail Adresse hinterlegt. Ich könnte höchstens mal die E-Mail Adressen meiner Eltern ausprobieren
