My hardware specifications include a 256 GB HDD SSD and 8 GB of RAM. Recently, eOS has started taking around 30 seconds to load wingpanel and plank after login screen. I referred to this question earlier, but couldn't find a solution. The waiting time is unbearable. The only startup application I have is Redshift.

Recent installs include few global node packages. Looking for a solution to this.

Thanks

  • Have you tried disabling redshift? I too have noticed longer than normal start times and also use redshift.

  • Maybe your HDD is failing.Have you check the S.M.A.R.T info. Anyways I recommend you get an SSD (although it don't have one)

  • @SuiciDoga My previous HDD was indeed failing and had replaced it this new SSD (wrongly mentioned as HDD in the question) a week ago. I'll still check its performance, though. Thanks.

  • @elmato I tried that, didn't result in any improvements.

  • I still can't find a solution to this problem. I would hate to do a fresh install.

A supposed fix is to run this command:

sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/at-spi-dbus-bus.disabled

I too had long boot times. I found this fix and tried it and I have not had issues with boot times since.
