Slow boot...again.

[Charlie Brown]

... Is it advisable to turn off fschk ...

what i understand mx needs to be booted 30 times before the fschk script starts to run...ever since post 30th boot the boot up process is getting hung at even the logo or it goes to a black screen forcing a power button shutdown...

Just for you asked:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/fstab

<dump> : Whether and how often the file system should be automatically backed up, 0 means "Never"

<fsck> :

0 - do not check (neither at boot nor later)
1 - check immediately during boot
2 - check after boot

Generally it's advised especially for the root partitions to be 1 . At least you can try with 2.

Also in MX Boot Options you can change the splash to nosplash and (always) see the flowing text, where it gets stuck.

No harm to recreate the initramfs:

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -uk all

Reboot.

(Disable the unnecessary services at boot)
