It's a known kernel bug that Dell bluetooth is broken in kernels >=4.14, so sticking with the old kernel that works for now. Kernel bluetooth bug causes bluez 97-hid2hci.rules udev rule to fail. systemd-udevd has always consumed 100% whenever a udev rule fails (could be argued that's also a bug b

Many thanks Martin. Trawling through the linux-usb and distro kernel mailing list archives shows that the kernel blocking problem has been around for some time and discussed at length. What it seems to boil down to is this: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/dri

So whether it be broken/missing libs or bad USB device enumeration causing upowerd to be either not available or slow to start, it would seem unity-settings-daemon could at least be improved to be robust enough not to segfault if upowerd is not present. In the meantime, I was able to solve the USB

One last thing...ice in comment #12 said: "Some people say it has to do with a ASMedia USB Controller" Have found that USB enumeration failure can cause a bottleneck in systemd getting the upower.service unit to finally start. You'll know if the system is hit with this as it'll be much slower to

Looks to be a race condition where the session (and so unity-settings-daemon) is started before systemd has finished starting the upower.service unit. u-s-d tries to query the state of power and segfaults when upowerd hasn't finished initialising to be able respond. >From syslog: 17:14:31 kernel
