I recently installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 16.04. However, it is taking more than two minutes to start. Here's the part of the dmesg output that's gobbling up a lot of time:

I have a feeling it's something to do with the graphics card.
While booting, it doesn't show the plymouth spash screen either. It just displays a purple screen for a long time
Here are the system specifications:
- Graphics : GrIntel® HD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2)
- Memory : 7.5 GiB
- Processor : Intel® Core™ i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4
It's an Acer Aspire E-5 by the way.
Thanks in advance!
[EDIT]
After running systemd-analyze blame I figured that openvpn was taking up almost a minute. After UN-installing openvpn, it's still taking about a minute.
Here's the result when I run systemd-analyze blame

And I still don't see the plymouth startup
systemd-analyze blameand paste it into your question!
