2)Speed Up Ubuntu Booting Time via Grub
(Source = Ubuntubuzz)
here's to do it, open your grub configuration file (/etc/default/grub) and find this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”, do as follows :
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
replace
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”
save and exit
sudo update-grub2
sudo reboot
Grub does a search for all the necessary drivers to load, Instead of making Grub search for required drivers, the profiling actually makes Grub remember every necessary driver to work, This action will cutting down all of the driver load times.
after your system up, edit /etc/default/grub and remove some option which we have added before.
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
replace
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”
with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
save and exit
sudo update-grub2
