Ah-haa! For the first two workers I found these gems in the log: Apr 01 13:58:57 alice systemd-udevd[458]: timeout '/bin/sh -c 'if [ -f /usr/bin/systemctl ]; then /usr/bin/systemctl --no-block start hplip-printer@003:006.service; else /usr/bin/nohup /usr/bin/hp-config_usb_printer 003:006 ; fi &'' Apr 01 13:58:57 alice systemd-udevd[458]: '/bin/sh -c 'grep -q ^#hpaio /etc/sane.d/dll.conf;if [ $? -eq 0 ];then sed -i -e s/^#hpaio/hpaio/ /etc/sane.d/dll.conf;else grep -q ^hpaio /etc/sane.d/dll.conf;if [ $? -ne 0 ];then echo hpaio >>/etc/sane.d/dll.conf;fi;fi'' [5784] exit with return code 0
sed'ing and writing files to /etc/ in udev rules is evil, bad, and wrong. also, calling systemctl in an udev rule is bound to fail, this should at least be ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}+="hplip-printer@003:006.service". It seems you don't even have a HP printer, do you? Or is this Bus 003 Device 006: ID 03f0:2514 Hewlett-Packard actually a printer in disguise? (lsusb says that it's a hub). If it's a printer, could you check if turning it off makes a difference? Could you please check if moving /lib/udev/rules.d/56-hpmud.rules aside helps? ** Summary changed: - systemd-udev-settle.service fails when probing ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer , 3min boot delay + systemd-udev-settle.service times out on hplip rules ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => hplip (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433557 Title: systemd-udev-settle.service times out on hplip rules Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: During boot, systemd-udev-settle.service failes causing a 3min boot delay.
