Bug Description

After upgrading from jaunty to karmic my boot time rises from 1 minute to 10 minutes.
I tried different things without success (in this order):
- fresh karmic installation
- blacklisting ohci1394 and ieee1394 modules
- disabling swap after reading bug 479611
- ureadahead and linux-image from proposed (bug 432089)

Because this is an desktop and wait 10 minutes to boot makes karmic useless for mee,
please help!

Installing the bootchart package and capturing the contents of /var/log/bootchart may help us ascertain what it is your system is doing during this time.

Strangely, the boot chart shows that usplash is running continuously and monopolizing the CPU during this time. What happens if you boot without the 'splash' option? (Enter the boot menu, use 'e' to edit, and remove 'splash' from the line where it appears)

We found the bad guy, it's usplash.
So we know who.
The only things left are why and how to fix ;-)
Attached are dmesg and bootchart.
If you need other infos let me know.

Interesting! This is exactly the same problem as mine - we posted them more or less the same time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/503844

You have this:

[5.120214] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[001106664555572b]
[ 556.653356] PM: Starting manual resume from disk
[ 556.653362] PM: Resume from partition 8:17
[ 556.653364] PM: Checking hibernation image.
[ 556.653544] PM: Resume from disk failed.

Which is VERY similar to mine:

[ 3.048620] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[00023f7aae40f47c]
[ 182.666949] PM: Starting manual resume from disk

[ 182.666958] PM: Checking hibernation image.
[ 182.667127] PM: Resume from disk failed.

I also thought it was this ieee1394 line taking the time, but I think it is this "manual resume"? See my bootchart also, below.

Eagerly awaiting a solution as I am close to giving up...

Apologies, something got corrupted/doubled up in my last post, and there is no bootchart as stated as I am currently in Windows, will post if necessary.

Just to add, removing "splash" did not seem to help for me.

Upgraded Linux kernel to "linux-image-2.6.31-17-generic", all problems solved, regular boot now goes direct to splash screen like it's supposed to, takes 26 seconds to login screen (not 6 minutes!) and even hibernate/resume works properly now. What the heck that was all about I don't know, but I am happy.

Over and out.

Hi Christian,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 491045

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
