When I was using only Ubuntu 15.10, the boot time was very fast, it was about 15-20 seconds.

Recently I installed Kali-Linux rolling edition along side Ubuntu 15.10.
Afterwards the boot time of Ubuntu has drastically increased (Kali boots fast enough).
It takes almost 3 to 4 minutes -> "Ubuntu ....." loading.

  • My system partitions :

I noticed that there is a gap of 72 Sec between line 971 to 972 in dmesg file.

I don't know why ?

Please help me to solve this problem.

  • I had the same issue just one month ago, then I found that installing kali with the same swap partition of Ubuntu, automatically changed partition UUID. Let's take a look at [this link](http://askubuntu.com/questions/728436/ubuntu-takes-long-time-to-boot/731526#731526), hope it can help you! – MKay Feb 21 '16 at 11:00
  • @MKay could you solve the problem? if yes please consider writing an answer. Thanks :-) – Severus Tux Feb 21 '16 at 11:13
  • Could you post the output of `journalctl` command and of `/etc/fstab` file, please? – MKay Feb 21 '16 at 11:16
  • @MKay output posted., please see the updated question now :-) – Severus Tux Feb 21 '16 at 11:34

    Please post also the OP for `blkid /dev/sda4`, I'm sorry I forgot. Anyway if you search for lines containing _swap_ in `journalctl` command OP you can see errors in mounting partition. I think that you could try copying UUID of `/dev/sda4` in `/etc/fstab` of Kali and substituting it in `/etc/fstab` of Ubuntu, this should solve the issue! – MKay Feb 21 '16 at 11:53

Boot from Ubuntu installation media.

Select Try Ubuntu without installing.

Step 1 : Reinstall the Ubuntu GRUB boot loader.

Open a terminal and execute :

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub  
exit

Step 2 : Correct the UUID entries in the fstab file.

Open another terminal and execute :

sudo blkid

Open another terminal and execute : 

sudo gedit /mnt/etc/fstab

Replace the UUID entries of sda1 | sda2 | sda3 | sda4

with those of the output given from the blkid command.

Close all terminals and reboot into Ubuntu operating system.

Re-install grub and update entire fstab is more then necessary! if you wand the ubuntu splash-screen in grub instead kali splash-screen, yes you can reinstall grub.

kali(debian) installer, when installed belong another distro, do not take care about there have an existing swap partition so the installer format it again; once the swap partition has been formatted the UUID has change!

The only necessary is up to date the UUID of swap partition in the fstab and in "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume" and regenerate the initramfs to let hibernation work again.
