  • 1: Please install inxi using sudo apt install inxi and then post the output of inxi -Fxzr here by editing your question. That'll give people an idea of your machine's specs and repos. 2: If purchasing an SSD is out of the question, you need to ask yourself whether a slow boot time is really an issue. Do you have the need to reboot often? ... continued in next comment.

  • 3: As your output shows, processes related to vmware seem to take the longest time. So maybe this has less to do with Kubuntu than with the virtualization software you installed. 4: It's good practice to include the command as well, not just its output.

    Possible duplicate of Ubuntu 15.04 network manager causing slow boot Jan 6, 2019 at 5:27
  • How should i remove the duplicate? Jan 6, 2019 at 16:16
  • The last entry in your critical chain indicates that you are waiting 43 seconds for a gvfs mount - a samba share from a windows machine perhaps? There is some information relating to slow shares here which indicate that cifs may be faster. Jan 7, 2019 at 15:36

One acronym - SSD - makes bootup a wonderful thing.

  • I an a new user! Please could you suggest exact steps? Jan 6, 2019 at 2:58
  • Purchase a SSD. That will get your boot time at around 10 seconds. Better hardware will be the quickest boost to performance. Software adjustment is not going to get you any significant improvements.
