Re: Boot delayed at trackpoint registration
Can't really help you but what happens if you disable the trackpoint in BIOS?

Thinkpad bios

--you don't mention the Thinkpad model #: different versions have different hardware..
Sure, if you think it might be the parallel port or serial port, just disable them in the bios of the notebook..

--yes turn of the splash, so you can see the boot sequence on the screen, gives you a console view of the load/boot; you should be able to see which item is taking the longer times..
You can also, and be careful here, checking the names and descriptions

So this means that turning off parallel on the bios did changed something. So what does this mean, is it 19.157434 or 189.350305 giving me trouble?

very little difference
Well between the boots, the swap drive has moved ??, and increased in size--> a more significant change
And if the trackpad works, nothing to be concerned about, an insignificant change..
That is not as good as watching the data as the system boots to see which is the slowest device to be enabled/activated, whether it is a wireless or network card searching for a connection, or a hard drive that is full and slow to boot, or some device that sticks and is enabled later in the Linux OS boot
You also usually have the option in the bios of letting the bios decide how to active/enable/control the system or using Plug & play mode and letting the Linux OS try to fix any problems uit detects on the system, while devices are started
I have no idea what it changedlunatico wrote:So this means that turning off parallel on the bios did changed something..

Adding 1927760k ..
That swap size looks a little large..
Is App Armour initialized in your dmesg display..

No idea what's going on with the swap size and locaion.... sda6 is the right place anyway.... I haven't done any changes.DrHu wrote:Adding 1927760k ..
