I have jumped back into using Ubuntu again, but I am having real issues with the overall performance of Ubuntu 19.04. It's very sluggish, it locks up, but the worst is that it can take about 5 mins to boot up.

I have an old Dell Optiplex 7010 with an i3 3000 processor with 8 GB of ram and using Intel HD 3000 onboard graphics. So performance shouldn't be such an issue.

As I mentioned I'm still new to Ubuntu so I'm still learning.

After searching for a fix, I found this command to see what's taking so much time to boot Ubuntu:

```
systemd-analyze blame

```

Which gives me this output:

```

As you can see something is not right. I'd appreciate if somebody could help me fix this please.

Ubuntu 19.04 is a relatively fresh install. But I can say I've had performance issues from clean installation. I hope someone can help me rectify this please. I'm looking forward to learning how to do so.
