I ran into the same bug (30 sec boot delay) running Bionic with Mate desktop.
The following steps solved the problem for now: 1. Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume 2. Change as follows: RESUME=none 3. Run sudo update-initramfs -u 4. Reboot - no more delay -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768230 Title: Long time booting : Failed to connect to lvmetad.
