I have been using Lucid for a couple of weeks now and the boot times have been very quick, but just today it refused to boot or was booting so slow that I lost patience. It happened two or three times in a row, never coming up. So I booted into recovery mode, did a "sudo shutdown -h now" at the prompt and it booted up fine the next time -- although perhaps a little slowly.
I would not be surprised if this had something to do with usb, as Ubuntu does NOT have usb figured out yet. A quick search will reveal many people having freezing issues, generally with a usb mouse. (The solution was to plug the mouse into and external hub. Why this works I don't know.) Are the two related? They are certainly both usb issues. And to be fair to Ubuntu: Linux doesn't seem to have usb down in general. That this should be is a little mystifying as usb is hardly cutting edge technology. -- Lucid slow boot time (pauses on boot 4 and 12 seconds long without output and log records) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
