If you've encrypted your home folder then you're likely running into this bug where you have an extremely slow 2 minute plus boot time. This is a quick fix that allows you to resolve the issue in Ubuntu 17.04 & tested on 17.10 version. This impacted both of my machines that I tried Ubuntu on and this fix worked perfect.

gksudo gedit /etc/crypttab
remove UUID line
add /swapfile
Save
Reboot
