Is this the right place to ask for help? Or is there another place? Anyways, feel free to delete this post if i’m in the wrong spot.
I use Pop OS on an Asus. Something has happened where i either have a 10 min plus boot time, or it doesn’t boot at all. I have reinstalled Pop OS twice (and used recovery mode) and even took it into a computer shop to see if there was something wrong with my hardware (there isn’t). When I first do a new install it will restart fine, but then it’ll be the next day when it will either take over 8 minutes to load, or it will be stuck on boot.
Right now it is stuck on boot. I can get into a live usb stick just fine. I have done systemanalyze blame, and it didn’t give me any helpful information. I have the same issue even if I try to press space bar and boot into an old kernel.
I should note that my computer has encryption enabled.
Any help would be awesome.
All hail the other linux noobs out there!


thanks, can you please give me the output of
journalctl -b0 -u systemd-modules-loadi’m curious why it’s taking 30s. maybe the other two services as well
the dmesg you posted is very truncated, just like a screenful of info. you can usually pipe command output to curl with these pastebin sites. i understand if you’re concerned about sensitive info in dmesg though
j@pop-os:~$ journalctl -b0 -u systemd-modules-load
