Hi All,
Hope someone can help. I just installed 9.04 on a T61p, everything worked
fine for a while but suddenly I was getting 3 minute delays at startup.
After digging into the logs I found that:
[ 13.910198] synaptics was reset on resume, see synaptics_resume_reset if
you have trouble on resume
[ 15.371139] psmouse serio2: ID: 10 00 64<6>IBM TrackPoint firmware: 0x0e,
buttons: 3/3
[ 19.084301] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input12
*[ 189.238041] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).*
[ 189.302500] Adding 1927760k swap on /dev/sda6. Priority:-1 extents:1
across:1927760k
[ 198.914676] EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck
is recommended
[ 198.914861] EXT3 FS on sda5, internal journal
[ 200.088590] type=1505 audit(1248115283.366:2): operation="profile_load"
name="/usr/share/gdm/guest-session/Xsession" name2="def
ault" pid=2503
So it looks like lp module is hanging there because it can't find a hardware
device, of course, it's a laptop, it has no parallel port.
This issue is very similar to the one reported at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138455
So I see two ways of fixing this, to blacklist the modules or to build a
custom kernel.
The first one does not work. I have created a file
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_custom.conf with:
blacklist lp
blacklist parport
blacklist ppdev
And then ran:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)
sudo update-initramfs -u
But after rebooting it is still loading the modules.
The second option of building a custom kernel, well I'm not very familiar
with that and find it a bit scary. I would prefer to go back to 8.10 before
doing this.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
--
