Ubuntu 18.10 slow boot on SSD with dual boot Windows 10

1

0

I have a Lenovo y50, core i7, 16gb RAM with a 1TB Samsung Evo 6 SSD setup with the following structure -

Ubuntu 18.10 - full disk encryption on 750gb. (No swap partition for the ubuntu)

Windows 10 - no encryption on 230gb.

Thing is, the Windows 10 boots up in 3s while the Ubuntu 18.10 boots up in approximately 2 minutes.

Here are some commands i ran to identify whats wrong,

How did you dualboot it? What's the main bootloader? Does Ubuntu boot directly from grub? Any performance improves after disabling encryption? – Biswapriyo – 2019-04-13T17:08:16.923

Dual boot was from grub. I select either Windows or Ubuntu from the Grub menu. It will be difficult to disable full disk encryption except doing a full install. The setup works fine, however Ubuntu takes too long to boot (about 1min plus) while Windows 10 boots in 3s. This is an SSD. – O Milli – 2019-04-13T17:22:23.430
