Suddenly very slow to start
Hello Fellow Ubuntu Users For some strange reason my Ubuntu 10.04 has suddenly become very slow to boot. I tried to repair the system at boot ( pressing escape) and then selected 'repair broken packages'. I have tried the above several times but still keep getting error messages as follows: usb 1-4 device descriptor read/64, error -110 unable to enumerate usb device on port 4 unable to enumerate usb device on port 5 It also thinks that there is a program still running, although it has started from cold. Can anyone tell me what these mean and how I can fix them ? Thanks very much David -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: Suddenly very slow to start
Hey Dave, Do you have an external USB hard drive plugged into the machine? If so can you try unplugging it and rebooting to see if it still starts up slowly? If not can you please open the termal and type: lsusb And please copy and paste the results?

Re: Suddenly very slow to start
Thanks for reply Dave. There are no devices plugged into any USB port (apart from the mouse) although the effect did seem to first arise when I was using a USB stick some while ago. I have run 'lsusb' in a terminal and the results are as below: da...@djb-p4:~$ lsusb Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0461:4d01 Primax Electronics, Ltd Comfort Keyboard Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:0151 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Re: Suddenly very slow to start
Many thanks to the two David's who replied to me. The command 'lsusb I was not aware of, and with the '-v' switch, provides a mass of data (not sure what it all means) about the USB connected devices. This is the great thing about the Linux (especially Ubuntu) Community - the great sense of camerade and willing help that is shared around. I belong to a 'Mens Shed' and we have a computer club which at present is based on the 'dark' side. My aim is to convert as many as possible to the 'light' (Linux). To this end I am very much interested in what Paul Whipp is suggesting to promote Ubuntu - more strength to his elbow !

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:0151 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Mass Storage Device ...is an internal media card reader. Do you have a card in the internal reader when you boot? If so, try removing that before boot up. There are ways to boot in safe mode or recovery mode or something too, which shows all the startup messages scrolling up the screen. If you get there, you may see some errors about what the problem is. Cheers, Whytey -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
