Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop:slow boot

[Stephen Waines]

Hello,
I have my ubuntu desktop set to boot text only mode.

it seems a removable hard drive was pplugged into my machine some time ago.
On every boot the boot takes a minute and a half to search to see if that drive is plugged in.

I ran systemd-analyze blame

Below is my output:

HI
I am also facing a slow boot issue. If I shut down my system, I am unable to start the system. IT takes 1 hour to start but I don't know exactly when it will get start. I do just on and off the system. I am using Ubuntu 19.04 version. can you please help me on the same.

[Dan Streetman (ddstreet)]

please reopen if this is still an issue

[Stephen Waines (stevinski)]

Hello

Thanks for the email hope you're doing well. Apparently that was a bug in
19.04. I'm on 20.04 and I have exactly no issues.

Thank you for the follow-up.

I actually barely remember reporting this bug.

Steve
