this relates to my laptop HP 250 with a dual boot HDD with Win10. I assume the Ubuntu boot up time increased with the updates but since I restored an image on the same HDD it's got much worse. I also expanded the ubuntu partition after restoring the image but this didn't seem to worsen the boot up time.
systemd-analyze blame showed apt-daily.service was taking 58 seconds and I fixed it by setting the schedule of apt-daily.service to run randomly between 15 min and 45 min after booting
I just timed the boot up time and it's as follows:
- 40 seconds after pushing start the GRUB menu pops up (for just 2 seconds, as I set it)
- 1 minute later the Ubuntu logo with the dots switching red/white shows up
- ~1.5 minutes later the logging screen appears -> Total ~3 min & 10 secs
This is the current systemd-analyze blame

So can the values from the main contributors be reduced somehow? Or what else can I do to shorten the boot up time? I have seen that dmesg can be useful, any guidance on how to check it please?
Thanks in advance!
