I'm new to linux. I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my USB 3.0 external hard drive. The problem is that Ubuntu takes a long time to boot. Also, when I try to reboot, it gets stuck at the Ubuntu loading screen.

Here are my laptop specs:

  • 8GB ram
  • Intel i7-6500u 2.5ghz dual core 64bit
  • Nvidia GTX 940M
  • 256GB SSD
  • 1TB external hard drive

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you

If you installed drivers from nvidia, I would try and uninstalling them.

If you did try to purge them from your install by booting to command-line(recovery-mode) and executing sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

Before rebooting do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for good practice. If any packages are broken run sudo apt-get -f install

It should then fallback to legacy drivers. I had more or less this problem on 16.04 and 16.10 Using those drivers immediately fixed it for me.
