Is this the right place to ask for help? Or is there another place? Anyways, feel free to delete this post if i’m in the wrong spot.
I use Pop OS on an Asus. Something has happened where i either have a 10 min plus boot time, or it doesn’t boot at all. I have reinstalled Pop OS twice (and used recovery mode) and even took it into a computer shop to see if there was something wrong with my hardware (there isn’t). When I first do a new install it will restart fine, but then it’ll be the next day when it will either take over 8 minutes to load, or it will be stuck on boot.
Right now it is stuck on boot. I can get into a live usb stick just fine. I have done systemanalyze blame, and it didn’t give me any helpful information. I have the same issue even if I try to press space bar and boot into an old kernel.
I should note that my computer has encryption enabled.
Any help would be awesome.
All hail the other linux noobs out there!
can you post
journalctl -b0andsystemd-analyze blameresults from after a successful boot. i have broken and fixed my own systems countless ways so maybe i’ll spot somethinghttps://hastebin.ianhon.com/fc2c
you can also
journalctl -b0 -p4to show only high priority messages. that would help toohttps://pastebin.com/6ih7pHwZ like this?
it’s very hard to decipher. the lines are right-truncated like you just copy-pasted from the terminal (the lines end in
>which is less’s sigil for “more content to the right”). you can make a pastebin from command output. to capture any command as a paste trythe part after the

you can put anything before
|to capture it to dpaste. check it for sensitive information first!from what i can see though, your nvme is behaving strangely. it may be related to power saving settings. try these settings from the Arch wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_state_drive/NVMe#Troubleshooting
do you boot from the nvme?
Sorry I’m a total novice, what would have been the better way to share my log aside from copy and pasting?
no worries, i gave a suggestion in my comment:
that captures the output from
journalctl -b0 -p4and sends it to dpaste.com. it will print out a URL to the result. give that a trysorry for the delay in response. Thank you for sharing this! here is my dpaste. https://dpaste.com/36EK4V3KR . Thanks for helping me.
no worries! i’m not the fastest to respond myself. i do want to help though. to explain the command,
journalctlsearches the journal, a database of messages from the units on your system managed by journald-b0means “this boot’s messages”, not the last boot or the one before…-p4' means "WARNING (4) or higher" (3, 2, 1, or 0). these priority levels are pretty old, long before my time. you can see them inman syslog`, but 0 is “alert” and 7 is “debug”i say all that because i naively hoped a malfunction on your system would appear as a high-priority message in the journal, and i wanted to spare you the back-and-forth that this kind of troubleshooting usually entails. in this case, though, i didn’t really see anything in those logs, so i suspect the culprit has been filtered out.
i will keep trying my best to help, don’t worry, but i understand if you get fatigued and just want to move on.
there are some odd gaps in the logs where i can’t tell what’s happening. now that you know how to send logs to something like dpaste, let’s open the floodgates. i don’t mind wading through a sea of logs to find something (kind of my day job too)
to give the kernel’s account of what happened:
dmesg -H | curl -s -F "content=<-" https://dpaste.com/api/v2/that’s everything from the start of the system to now, so it’s best if you do it soon after booting.
finally, i had you filter to WARNING (4) and above with
-p4but it didn’t show anything. how about…everything?journalctl -b0 | curl -s -F "content=<-" https://dpaste.com/api/v2/that will be a lot of information but it should be informative!
thanks, can you please give me the output of
journalctl -b0 -u systemd-modules-loadi’m curious why it’s taking 30s. maybe the other two services as well
the dmesg you posted is very truncated, just like a screenful of info. you can usually pipe command output to curl with these pastebin sites. i understand if you’re concerned about sensitive info in dmesg though
j@pop-os:~$ journalctl -b0 -u systemd-modules-load

I am currently on this computer but booted into an old kernal which was still slow to load but eventually got me on
