"usb_id: unable to access" - boot experience

[Adam Michael Roach]

1) When booting, I get this message first:

Grub loading.

2) Then I get the following messages:

(see attachment) There is more, but I didn't catch it fast enough

3) Then I get a sound as if I am getting into the login screen, even though I have it set to autologin.

4) The desktop loading sound comes on, and as my desktop is loading I see the brown xsplash wallpaper and not my own wallpaper for the first few secs, until my desktop is fully loaded, then it switches to the wallpaper I have set it to.

Although it is quite fast, overall it is a very akward boot experience.

I don't know if this is a bug, but it's unrelated to xsplash.

2) The first set about sdb are from the kernel and we are looking at silencing those. Our alternative is to mask with usplash, but we'd rather not. The second set are from system daemon startups and can be fixed by following the solution here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/438335/comments/13
We are looking at how to permanently address this issue by release as well.

3) This is fixed in the latest gdm. Do a
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get upgrade
Check to see if "gdm" is one of the packages being updated. If it is not, please post your level of gdm to this bug by running:
> dpkg -l gdm

4) This is a much harder situation to debug. I suggest installing "bootchart" and then reboot *TWICE*. The first reboot will be slow because sreadahead is profiling your boot. Attach the /var/log/bootchart/*-2.png file to this bug for analysis

3) Is fixed for me

4) After updates is no longer doing that, it now goes straight to my wallpaper.

I get the same message and I don't see any splash while booting but only text on screen until KDM starts. I have a NVidia card so it may be related to the nvidia drivers.
