I am relatively new to Ubuntu and linux. I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition, it runs fine.Except that it boots very slow. Sometimes gets stuck at the Ubuntu logo with dots. Sometimes it gets me to login but touch pad doesn't work.

Please guide me.

System config:

  • EFI based boot.
  • Intel Core i5 3210M
  • 1TB HDD
  • AMD Radeon 7750M

Here's my boot chart: http://s24.postimg.org/5ocbq7wh1/prateekpc_raring_20130916_12.png

I'm somewhat new to Ubuntu, but in general, for most Linux systems, 

gedit /var/log/dmesg

or use a file manager like nautilus to navigate to that folder for this plain ordinary text file. Use the editor's Search/Find feature for words like "fail" or "error" if the logfile is really long. This is a good place to begin, if you are looking for problems during bootup. There are other logs in that directory you can check as well, but IMHO & experience, dmesg has been more often than not the best indicator to point me in the right direction.
