[So-so-Solved?] USB hub errors on boot after upgrade

Pyrobisqit · 2014-12-11 12:07:48

Hi, after a recent upgrade to a new kernel (suppose it's relevant), I'm getting a bunch of errors upon boot, and the GDM login screen is now delayed about 20 seconds. So, the system stays with the kernel boot messages for a few seconds, and then, GDM appears. All this time GDM is being delayed, the system looks "frozen", as in, the console cursor doesn't blink, and I can switch (Ctrl+Alt+F2-7) to other TTYs, but they won't show the login prompt (typical "username:" stuff). I suppose the system finally boots up due to a timeout. Can anyone tell me what's going on? I tried adding "iommu=pt" to the end of the kernel grub line, as per suggested on other forums with peopl presenting similar issues, but this won't fix it either.

dmesg output (only the relevant parts).

I started having a problem similar to yours (possibly the same) not long ago as well. My output of dmesg is almost the same except for the bus and device numbers:

[...]

[   11.034336] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Setup ERROR: setup context command for slot 1.

What I noticed though is that the device is my Wireless device (presumably Bluetooth from the following lsusb output?)

[...]
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 8087:07dc Intel Corp. 
Couldn't open device, some information will be missing

  bDeviceClass          224 Wireless
  bDeviceSubClass         1 Radio Frequency
  bDeviceProtocol         1 Bluetooth
  bMaxPacketSize0        64
  idVendor           0x8087 Intel Corp.
  idProduct          0x07dc 
  bcdDevice            0.01
  iManufacturer           0 
  iProduct                0 
  iSerial                 0 
  bNumConfigurations      1
[...]

Does your output also refer to a usb wireless device? If so, then we have a lead. Otherwise, I have no idea what's causing this.

EDIT:
I looked a bit more into this and found that I have a certain package installed: usbip. This package includes two kernel modules, usbip-host and usbip-core. Turns out these modules need all your usb devices enumerated/initialised/whatever it is that is throwing errors at me. Since these modules get loaded by systemd before you get to a login prompt, they have to wait for the enumeration to finish. Once I stopped them from loading on boot, I got back my previous boot time. I can still see the errors in dmesg's output, but they occur much later and don't stop me from logging in.

Interesting! Your output matches mine character by character:

[pyrobisqit@sputnik ~]$ lsusb -d 8087:07dc -v

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:07dc Intel Corp.

  bDeviceClass          224 Wireless
  bDeviceSubClass         1 Radio Frequency
  bDeviceProtocol         1 Bluetooth
  bMaxPacketSize0        64

  iSerial                 0 
  bNumConfigurations      1
[...]

However, lately, the delayed login prompt has gotten back to speed, just right how it was before it started getting delayed. For no apparent reason (I suppose it's a kernel upgrade through pacman -Syu), it's now working. Also, usbip is not installed:

[pyrobisqit@sputnik ~]$ pacman -Ss usbip
community/usbip 3.18-1 (linux-tools)
    An USB device sharing system over IP network

Good for you!

My system still throws these errors at me when I'm at the login prompt (I'm running without a DE) but it doesn't slow the bootup and my WiFi works anyway, so I'll leave it for now.

I guess this isn't really solved but perhaps you could consider adding some tag to the title anyway (or that's at least how I think this forum works, two posts hardly make me a veteran ).

OK! That'll do

I am experiencing similar issues (delayed login, usb error messages):

Oct 03 21:16:04 machine kernel: usb 2-4: device descriptor read/64, error -110
Oct 03 21:16:19 machine kernel: usb 2-4: device descriptor read/64, error -110

Oct 03 21:16:56 machine kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Command completion event does not match command
Oct 03 21:17:01 machine kernel: usb 2-4: device not accepting address 8, error -62

Oct 03 21:17:12 machine kernel: usb usb2-port4: unable to enumerate USB device

I read that these messages might be related to faulty hardware (these links might be related: here, here, and here), but I hope it is not the case since my laptop was bought recently.

I am using 4.1.6-1-ARCH on t450s with a pro dock. I do not have usbip installed.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
