Below is the output for my Zenbook from systemd-analyze plot > sequence.svg

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS mike-UX305FA (Linux 4.4.0-66-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 3 15:29:05 UTC 2017) x86-64
Startup finished in 8.281s (firmware) + 1.908s (loader) + 11.613s (kernel) + 5.963s (userspace) = 27.766s

My Zenbook has

Intel® Core™ m3-6Y30 Processor
RAM: 8 GB
Storage: 128 GB SSDIntel® Core™ m3-6Y30 Processor
RAM: 8 GB
Storage: 128 GB SSD

I checked the output for my rarely used msi laptop which was

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS mike-Capella-platform (Linux 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016) x84-64
Startup finished in 3.788s (kernel) + 3.068s (userspace) = 6.856s

The msi has

Intel® Core™ is CPU M350@2.27GHzx4 Processor
RAM: 1.88 GB
Storage: 256 GB SSD

What catches my eye about the differences are:

Zenbook: Startup finished in **8.281s (firmware)** + **1.908s (loader)** + **11.613s (kernel)** + 5.963s (userspace) = **27.766s**

against

no firmware and loader and short kernel here for the

msi: Startup finished in 3.788s (kernel) + 3.068s (userspace) = 6.856s

  • What does `systemd-analyze blame` tell you? – user8675309 Mar 19 '17 at 22:31

  • Perhaps this similar question will help? http://askubuntu.com/a/615429/305014 – user8675309 Mar 19 '17 at 22:57
  • Not sure if the following is relevant. – Welshmike Mar 19 '17 at 23:08
  • Not sure if the following is relevant. My dual boot msi boots using BIOS and W10 takes some 30 seconds to boot there. This my Zenbook is also dual boot and boots using UEFI firmware taking some 30 seconds to boot W10. Maybe UEFI accounts for the extra 8.281s (firmware), 1.908s (loader) and longer 11.613s (kernel) when booting Ubuntu ? – Welshmike Mar 19 '17 at 23:16
  • Re user8675309 However systemd-analyze blame shows just 8.243s NetworkManager-wait-online.service (bedtime for me now. Will continue tomorrow) – Welshmike Mar 19 '17 at 23:21
  • Have you enabled fast boot in your bios? Also, perhaps the issue with your WIN10 boot is because windows is not actually shutting down your Zenbook, and is instead suspending to disk, as explained here: http://askubuntu.com/a/344433/305014. – user8675309 Mar 19 '17 at 23:36
