Sir, you can't attach files to launchpad :D you will have to link
those to an outside source like imageshack.us and then post the upload
links here

Thanks for the picture, your boot up is kind of slow, and some of the
last processes are taking unusually long, I assume that is because of
GRUB 2 and it not being able to handle a dual boot. I will talk to the
developers as this is a common problem for a lot of users, and is
being currently worked upon. Sorry for the inconvenience, a patch will
be released soon in updates to fix the problems as the devs. decide to
take actions on it.

Regards,
Vikram

Thank you, shall await the patch.

In the meantime, I wonder whether the slow boot-up is due to the problem mentioned in Q 90440 ?. Perhaps it is worth checking this out.

I also note that the boot-up time has improved since installing the regular updates.
