I'm running:

LSB Version:    core-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:printing-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:security-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch

My boot up is very slow indeed. There are multiple services that fail to start:

It says the boot is still running:

systemd-analyze blame

Bootup is not yet finished. Please try again later.

Even though:

uptime

 12:41:22 up 58 min,  3 users,  load average: 0.61, 0.78, 3.65

The first error in boot.log is:

[  OK  ] Started Thermal Daemon Service.

[  OK  ] Started Restore /etc/resolv.conf if the system crashed before the ppp link was shut down.

[FAILED] Failed to start Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack.

See 'systemctl status avahi-daemon.service' for details.

[FAILED] Failed to start WPA supplicant.

See 'systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service' for details.

[FAILED] Failed to start Login Service.

If I look at the Avahi report:

Any idea of what is going wrong?
