Douglas L. Turnbull, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) Could you please advise how long it takes to bootup in seconds/minutes?
2) Is this something that started to happen after an update? If so, which specifically?
3) To see if this is already resolved in your release, could you please update your HWE stack as per https:/
