After running an update in Ubuntu 20.04, my boot performance is seriously degraded. Running dmesg highlights a few problematic processes.

After running systemd-analyze, you can see the boot time is... total crap.

Startup finished in 29.969s (firmware) + 10.657s (loader) + 1.854s (kernel) + 1min 4.220s (userspace) = 1min 46.701s 
graphical.target reached after 30.301s in userspace

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

  • I assume you did not have these usb errors before upgrade, you could check the older logs to confirm

Turns out my connected GoPro was drawing too much power from USB and causing the boot to fail. Solved.
