[SOLVED] USB devices not working immediately upon boot

sairuiu · 2021-04-07 03:22:18

Upon booting and being presented with the tty login screen, my USB devices do not work for a minute or two. This is most obvious with my mouse and keyboard not accepting input (i.e. need to wait for the devices to work before I can login), though I assume it is the same for all USB devices.

Interestingly the devices work prior to booting into Arch (i.e. selecting BIOS/bootloader options), and the lights on the devices also indicate they are being powered until they actually start accepting input. From the dmesg log (https://pastebin.com/Yv3uz4Zg) it appears that my keyboard and mouse are detected quite early, but there are several USB failures and retries until they begin to work at [ 89.269325]. How would I go about troubleshooting this issue?

This device here doesn't respond and blocks the bus:

Everything functions as intended at the moment (since I'm already logged in and the devices have started working). Though `/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/3-13` does not seem to exist despite showing up in the dmesg log of my current session:

Does this indicate one of my USB devices might be failing? I may test booting without certain devices connected next time I get the opportunity to see if I can isolate the offending device if so.

"3-3" is worthless.

Does this indicate one of my USB devices might be failing?

Yup. Or at least it doesn't respond.
Do you have a parallel windows installation?

I don't, but I think that's enough information to investigate/troubleshoot. I'll post back if I learn anything new or figure out a solution. Thanks for the help.

After some investigation, I discovered that the offending device was a PCIe network card that I was using for bluetooth (my bluetooth had stopped working not too long ago). Removing the device resolved the issue.
