I have ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed in my machine. Since the last update (kernel 4.15.0-176-generic) the machine is very slow to boot (login) and there are problems after the login (slow and laggy).
At the login screen the keyboard, touch-pad and mouse do not respond for more than 3 minutes. Once the keyboard,touch-pad and mouse are responding and I am able to login the computer is slow and laggy. Sometimes the wifi is not working because the driver wasn't loaded during the boot process (I can manualy load the driver with the modprobe command without errors and the wifi works fine) .


This problem is not always present, in some cases after rebooting the system boots and works without any problem (it is not slow neither laggy), and I don't have to wait the 3 minutes for the keyboard, touch-pad and mouse to became responsive.


Laptop is Lenovo V330-15IKB
CPU Intel i5-8250U 12GB RAM with only a SSD 256GB only Ubuntu OS (no dual boot).


When the problem is present I see that dmesg shows a jump in time (about 190sec equal to more than 3 minutes)

I have restarted many time the machine, and in some case I can see in the output of the dmesg command the following lines related to the loading the wifi driver/firmware:


[    9.527848] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 29.1044073957.0 op_mode iwlmvm
[ 9.588579] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165, REV=0x210

I don't know why sometime the driver is not loaded during the boot up process. Even that, when the driver is loaded at the boot up process the main problem is still present (touch pad, mouse and keyboard not responding at login screen and slow and laggy behavior after login).


I don't know what is causing the problem so far. How can I troubleshoot and solve this problem?

The problem was solved by updating the wifi card driver/firmware.
I downloaded the last driver from:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html


The driver I download is named as "iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode".


Even when I already have the version 29 of the driver in my machine, the downloaded driver seems to be different:


sum and sha256 for the iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode that I already had installed (original diver):


cactus@ssa:~$ sum /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode
54500 1013
cactus@ssa:~$ sha256sum /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode
cf3856c1eb5db22d9aafd8e2a0cf1794d4c3a442a9eaf11ccc1a53391a0a12fa /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode


sum and sha256 for the iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode downloaded:


cactus@ssa:~$ sum /home/cactus/Downloads/iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode
15972 1013
cactus@ssa:~$ sha256sum /home/cactus/Downloads/iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode

After updating the driver and rebooting the initial problem (slow boot, touch pad and keyboard not responding for more than 3 minutes at login screen, slow and laggy behavior after login) disappeared.


I did a final test: I to switch back to the original driver version, and I could see that the problem was not present any more (even when I was using the original driver).
