Boot error: USB string descriptor?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hello all!

Installed Opensuse recently after having way to many issues with Ubuntu and I have to say im impressed so far! Opensuse feels good!

Anyway, I have a small problem with an error on boot and was wondering if its fixable. So basically when I boot up I get an error on the screen that comes up for about 5 seconds saying:

doing fast boot
Creating device nodes with udev
1.069933] usb 4-1: string descriptor 0 read

Theres a bit missing after the word read as I wasnt able to catch the last of it.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Regards.

Hello,

To begin with, please alwayst tell which version of openSUSE your question/problem is about.

It may be me, but what is the problem? As I understand you the system boots and functions normal. Is there a delay at the message that you think that it could boot faster when something is cured? Do you think the message points to a problem?

As I see the message, it reports someting about USB bus 4, device 1. You could do a

lsusb

to see which device is there.

As a new user, you might want to analyze the boot speed of your PC and I have a bash script for systemd that can be of help: SysdCmd - systemd Command Help/Config Editor - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

And for all things for boot logs another helper can be found here: S.L.A.V.E. - SuSE Logfile Automated Viewer Engine - Version 2.50 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thank You,

Thanks for your responses HCVV and jdmcdaniel3.

I tried lsusb and got

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2232:1035
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

My problem is that it just takes time off of boot and I would like it to be a crisp, clean install without any errors. :slight_smile:

I will have a closer look at the system app when im free and its not so late.

Regards.

Then find out the complete text in syslog. File /var/log/messages.

The two bash scripts I pointed out are easy to get. Just open up terminal and past these commands in one at a time and press enter once on each:

rm ~/bin/sysdcmd ; wget -nc http://paste.opensuse.org/view/download/95655714 -O ~/bin/sysdcmd ; chmod +x ~/bin/sysdcmd

rm ~/bin/slave ; wget -nc http://paste.opensuse.org/view/download/50521534 -O ~/bin/slave ; chmod +x ~/bin/slave

The first program answers to **sysdcmd **and the second to slave from terminal and both create program icons to start them later when you wish.

Thank You,
