booting takes too much after touching swap partition

Hello, I was told to enlarge my swap partition. I was able to do that from gparted from usb live, however now the booting is slow and takes to much to load the system.

I have GTP partitioned.
1mb left at the beggining 1 mb left at the end.

This is my machine

Code:

CPU~Dual core Pentium E5300 (-MCP-) speed/max~2384/2461 MHz Kernel~4.15.0-42-generic x86_64 Up~1:48 Mem~1285.3/3935.7MB HDD~585.7GB(76.1% used) Procs~218 Client~Shell inxi~2.2.35 


I tried recoering option from grub,and also run fsck* but the issue persists. (* I did this from gparted -usblive- check option)

Here is some info that may help, I don't know how to read it:

Hi pcfan5

Hello this is the result

Code:

Startup finished in 4.036s (kernel) + 3min 5.880s (userspace) = 3min 9.916s


Hi pcfan5

kernel is ok the second part (userspace) is way too high for average boot up
but depends on hardware
CPU
Hard Disk (best is SSD)
RAM

and the software installed!

under terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) systemd-analyze blame
check if there is a service that takes long to start

for instance one of mine parameters is 2.016s dev-sda1.device

kindly let know

Ps: I am sorry I don't know how to understand or introduce the parameter you suggested neither I know how this came to be: "3min 5.880s (userspace)"

This changing in booting came up apfter I enlarged the swap partition. For that I removed it first and shortened my "data" (/home) partition

Hi pcfan5,

Please read this thread very carefully:

https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/help-wi ... 04/5622/11

and this:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1065739 ... -slow-boot - do you need to connect to a windows computer? You won't need nmbd.service if not.

It appears that system.d is one of the biggest culprits (Now seeing why there was a big split in the Debian community over implementing system.d!

Hi

looking at your file some observations (no solutions as yet)

apt-daily.service shouldn't be run during boot, but only some time afterwards.

never used samba so must 'skip' on results. sorry for that. Swarfendor437 may shed light
nmbd.service nmbd - NetBIOS name server to provide NetBIOS over IP naming services to clients.
samba-ad-dc.service looks you can enable/disable when system boosts.

the loop devices come from snap packages that you installed, one loop device for each snap package that is installed.

you run a complicated setup for sure

Hi zorinantwerp,

Those links I provided to other threads include information about sorting out the apt-daily service and the second nmbd.

apt - daily service can be unclick from the apps that are loaded at the beggining, I think th eother "nmbd" don't kow what it is.

nmbd is to do with samba I think - you need to connect to Windows computers?

Hi again

the saga continues....

Clean up your OS. the command does not delete any app on yr system

Code:

sudo apt-get clean

To clear unwanted dependencies

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove

Your icon Statup Application Preferences. Startup applications take huge resource while the system boots up so trim out the list. (important)

Swap partition
If you have less RAM on your machine, then you should make a swap partition during initial OS installation. Normally Swap partition is made double in according to your actual RAM. If you have 2 GB RAM then the Swap Partition will be 4 GB.
This partition will use your HDD as RAM to speed up application launching and background system process.
Since you know how to increase the swapfile please check size again.

Finally I use magic (does it work?)

Code:

sudo apt-get install preload

It loads an application very fast depending on how often the user is using the application

Good luck

Hi , thank you very much for your reply .

I did this sudo apt-get autoremove and got this: (it is in english but you will understand... "hecho" means "done" ,

So I boot in live mode - gparted - resized swap partition to 8 gb Rebooted but .....as I imagined , by doing this, I broke my system... ah jajajajaj. The only think I see is the mouse arrow over a black screen :/ , However it is not a problem I will re install the OS ,( I am on live usb now ) but I reply with this info in order to let you know , how the procedure went, because I cannot understand completly what the command above ment. Don't worry , I assumed for the first time I got this bootin errors that my system got broken after I used gparted for enlarging the swap for thef irst tieme, I wonder if it is totatly necesary to give it a double size of my memory RAM , because when I run a lot of programs and check on the task mannager the Swap in use most of the times says 0 % o 3% , is there another app to check its use.?

HI pcfan5,
Looking at your recent posts it looks to me like your HDD maybe on the way out, memory or bug issue, drive errors on another post, etc etc. Having lost a drive recently I feel your pain and thought I would share some ideas. My drive started to vibrate at times, crash the PC when watching a video from it and other strange things. Linux and home was on another drive in my case.

If you are reinstalling and have no other data on the drive, from the live system open up disks utility and format with the 'slow' option that overwrites the disk with 'O' (zeros). I did this and got a few extra months out of the drive (no critical data on it). Bear in mind that this may also overwork the drive or fail as mine did before I got it to complete! This may take a long time, several hours or more for a 320GB drive but might be worth a shot.

Hi thank you for your kind reply , I know the HDD had some errors, but so far it passed the SMART test and I have already done what you said. I will try again, taking in mind your suggestion and the fact the HDD must be in its end.

By the way, I have my files backed up, so I entered into the mode of trying new things out. While trying to reinstall again I selected LVM option*, without reading first about it, and to sum up, I have lost my partitions but haven format yet ( I know I might to open another toppic about this but as you are reading me now I wanted to ask If TESTDISK can be run from liveUSB session, I have a guide to use it but cannot make it run from console).

Gparted doesn't do the tick , when I do "attempt to rescue" it ask for gpart instalation, have searched all over in ubuntu forums, but it is and endless path, since the "gpart" features isn't in repositories.


*I didn't know I was like automatic, and that I wouldn't have the chance to manage my partitions as in "other options" .. I intended to keep my GPT partition table.

HI pcfan5,

Sorry to hear of your issues. If you can access another machine, download Gparted Live edition from here:

Hi I can access to Zorin Live USB, installed testdisk from console, because the file dowloaded from test disk web site didn't work form me, run testdisk from consol but didn't read my HDD, (don't know if this was because I have already created a new partition, or because testdisk seems to be only for MBR partitions, please correct me if I am brong)

So Now I am formating my HDD as suggested by MBMz10 and then I will install with LVM as you suggested before. There is something I don't understand LVM seems to use a MBR partition table instead of GPT, however I wonder if GPT (with all this advantages is realy useful to me , when I have a 320 GB HDD and no UEFI) ????

GPT is really for EFI and SSD?

oh thank you!. I have formated in GPT once again, installed zorin lite 12.4 , but I will take it in mind to do it in MBR for next time, which I think is going to be soon since, booting is taking quite long again and before I see the Zorin logo I get this screen (which is not common to see)
