hp ubuntu stuck in boot ➰

hopefully this helps someone else out

, Permalink 🔗

I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS into my laptop, and after completing first time setup and completing software updates the laptop only booted successfully about 50% of the time.

troubleshooting steps

  • boot into recovery mode
  • enable networking
  • drop to root recovery

  • sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

  • journalctl –since today

  • systemctl disable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

Turns out the Wi-Fi was stuck in a loop waiting to connect and was stopping the login screen from launching. Boot is now way quicker now too.
