Is this the right place to ask for help? Or is there another place? Anyways, feel free to delete this post if i’m in the wrong spot.

I use Pop OS on an Asus. Something has happened where i either have a 10 min plus boot time, or it doesn’t boot at all. I have reinstalled Pop OS twice (and used recovery mode) and even took it into a computer shop to see if there was something wrong with my hardware (there isn’t). When I first do a new install it will restart fine, but then it’ll be the next day when it will either take over 8 minutes to load, or it will be stuck on boot.

Right now it is stuck on boot. I can get into a live usb stick just fine. I have done systemanalyze blame, and it didn’t give me any helpful information. I have the same issue even if I try to press space bar and boot into an old kernel.

I should note that my computer has encryption enabled.

Any help would be awesome.

All hail the other linux noobs out there!

        it’s very hard to decipher. the lines are right-truncated like you just copy-pasted from the terminal (the lines end in > which is less’s sigil for “more content to the right”). you can make a pastebin from command output. to capture any command as a paste try

        journalctl -b0 -p4 | curl -s -F "content=<-" https://dpaste.com/api/v2/
        

        the part after the | comes from here:

        https://dpaste.com/FZNXRMS75

        you can put anything before | to capture it to dpaste. check it for sensitive information first!

        from what i can see though, your nvme is behaving strangely. it may be related to power saving settings. try these settings from the Arch wiki:

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_state_drive/NVMe#Troubleshooting

        do you boot from the nvme?

          Sorry I’m a total novice, what would have been the better way to share my log aside from copy and pasting?

            no worries, i gave a suggestion in my comment:

            journalctl -b0 -p4 | curl -s -F "content=<-" https://dpaste.com/api/v2/
            

            that captures the output from journalctl -b0 -p4 and sends it to dpaste.com. it will print out a URL to the result. give that a try
