Hello, It looks like this fwupd.service issue cannot be 100% reproduced. It will just gone after reboot for this laptop at hand. I will change the title here.
As your systemd-analyze blame indicates the hiccup happens in the kernel, which I cannot reproduce here, can you help us by providing the following output with an older kernel? * dmesg * systemd-analyze * systemd-analyze blame * lspci --nnv * sudo dmidecode -s bios-version Thanks! ** Summary changed: - fwupd.service causing boot time increase since 4.15.0-46 on Dell G7 7588 + Boot time increase since 4.15.0-46 on Dell G7 7588 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821027 Title: Boot time increase since 4.15.0-46 on Dell G7 7588 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi Ubuntu Team, My laptop take more than 45 sec to boot up Ubuntu.
