This question already has an answer here:



  • Why is Kali Linux so hard to set up? Why won't people help me?

    5 answers



I just installed Kali Linux (on /dev/sda5) in dual boot with Ubuntu (on /dev/sda2). However, now that I have Kali, Ubuntu takes a few minutes to launch, whereas Kali takes a few seconds, and I would like the contrary. How can I do that ?



EDIT 1



  • Ubuntu took about 20 seconds to launch before I installed the dual boot.

  • I have updated Grub on both partitions, so it looks different if I choose to boot with Ubuntu or Kali in the BIOS.

  • The step that seems to take the more time (about two thirds of the time) shows :
    a start job is running for dev-disk-by...a-lot-of-characters....device

EDIT 2



Editing my fstab to have the correct UUID for my swap partition only reduced by half the booting time: Ubuntu still takes a good 45 seconds to launch: so my question is not a duplicate of the questions suggested.



EDIT 3



Rebuilding my initramfs (sudo update-initramfs -u) and then updating grub (sudo update-grub) did the job: now Ubuntu takes only 10 seconds to launch. Thanks everyone!

  • Did you reinstall grub? - does the OS selection screen look different?

  • What's taking the time? You should be able to see the boot process by removing 'quiet splash' from the grub line that is booting (press e when it comes to the OS selection screen and remove the words 'quiet splash' this will be a one time change to your system so rebooting will be however it is now).

You probably change some of your partitions during the installation process and now your system is trying to mount a partition that no longer exists, or some other impossible thing, until the job finally timeouts and gives up You should edit your /etc/fstab according to your current partitions, that you can check in a variety of ways(fdisk, lsblk, etc).



This question looks very similar to yours and may be exactly your problem(since your system boots, it wasn't a very important partition that failed, maybe swap?).



In this question they even suggest gparted, which has a graphical interface, to check partitions if you prefer.
