Hi guys

Altho I am still happy with my internal boot speed. Seeing others have some similar issues to me I thought I might search for the udev error.

I got a hit or 2 from a systemd based distro but they are discussing lvm2, and I do not use lvm.
Before I editted my last reply....I thought it might because of my AMD motherboard which asks users to have specific usb lead kb and mouse in ports next to the PS/2 connector.

So I did test swapping the leads to other connectors on my tower....no change.

I then deleted lvm2.......no change...but I restored that image for the moment.

but it might still be my hard drive set up.

su
/sbin/blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="s1" UUID="hidden" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="hidden"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="sswap" UUID="hidden" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="hidden"
/dev/sda3: LABEL="s3" UUID="hidden" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="hidden"
second drive not relevant

In the install process I opted out of UUID fstab....then changed to a fstab like this

LABEL=s1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
LABEL=sswap none swap sw 0 0
LABEL=s3 /s3 ext4 users,rw 0 2

s3 is my data partition....I do not have a separate boot or home. I use fsarchiver to save restore images to s3 using a live usb.

Finally I should mention....this hard drive use to sit in a tradition MBR motherboard and my new mobo only allows me to choose CSM or UEFI....I choose CSM as I have no efi partition.

This may all be irrelevant, but what I am trying to say, it might be my setup that causes udev some issues?

EDIT
just rebooted with an UUID fstab no change to udev delays

thanks for reading

@fsmithred

Yikes sorry for wasting time. I was using the iso dated Mar 11
downloading your newer one now.

post 56 does not show my atime date. So I mislead you.

EDIT

similar results for the iso dated 2020-03-25

I am not going to pursue this any further. My SSD boots up with decent speed.

cheers

Yep, just running live - not carrying into install.
I don't get it

Yes I am in the process of installing on a HP intel onboard graphics and have no such usb mouse freeze.

so I booted my tower back up...mouse still freezes and the only log that shows some strangeness is below
original name /var/log/boot

(Nothing has been logged yet. If you're still seeing this message your current init system might not write bootup messages to the system console at all.)

dmesg does not show any funniness for usb mouse...I have full log if anyone needs to see it

I am guessing the motherboard AMD and that kernel did not want to party as...my SSD boot file contains similar udev messages,
the difference of course is I see a fairly fast boot up compared to usb boot up which seems to take ages in comparison

and I won't do a bug report because its easy to fix,
but I flashed an usb stick with my above iso

booting up to live, my usb mouse froze.
pulling and re-inserting it fixed it instantly.

I have no such glitches on the hard drive install.

Thanks for reading.

Hi

Won't that break wireless printing setup that uses avahi?

I have installed to hard drive

There are a number of Downfall parodies, this discusses systemd and where to for some.

@GlennW

If the info does not yet help you...try this
create a file to blacklist you internal sound module, on reboot only your inserted USB device is detected. I have not forced it to index=0 but here is my test result

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Device [USB PnP Sound Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

If I want internal sound then I use root powers to modprobe as per

#  /sbin/modprobe snd_hda_intel

that changes my indices but who cares.....anyhow here is file contents

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-intel.conf 
blacklist snd_hda_intel

The reason we blacklist....is because USB devices take time to settle and time taken by udev etc.

EDIT
I should add....having come from a debian based distro...that uses a package called
alsa-base
--> that had alsa-base.conf in my old distro modprobe.d dir
with various configs to stop USB devices grabbing anything nice

Hi

there is some good info here. I am an alsa guy but still tend to use PA as I use firefox.

Here is an alternative GUI to disable HDMI in PA where you are using 3.5mm leads from analog sound device.

first here is my aplay without any swapping...clean install

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Note the name is Generic for both cards.....now run the pavucontrol GUI
as per screenshot...for those interested. But no need to click as I describe it

top line HD Audio Generic
bottom line same name

but the top line is for first detected card, that is card with index=0 which is HDMI

so pulldown the top line to choose Off

hope that helps the newbies.

and the card 1 for analog should be stereo duplex unless you are using multiple connectors to a surround sound system

Good Luck
