Each time I start up Solus, the password field shows up with a flashing text cursor a few seconds before I can actually type into it. If there's a way to check to see if a keyboard and/or mouse is connected, I'd like it to wait until then before the text cursor is shown in the password field.
Also, related: how would I troubleshoot a longer-than-normal wait for keyboard input?
@yaomtc I assume this is regarding encryption? If not, I'll remove it as a duplicate and re-open, assuming there are more details regarding the keyboard device (if it's bluetooth, I think there is another issue open for that), if it's for LightDM or GDM, etc.
It's just regular login, I don't have encryption enabled. Unless it's enabled by default, I haven't checked.
It's a Mistel Barocco, a USB QWERTY keyboard with a split US layout, connected via a USB extension cable.
Gotcha, so LightDM. Is this with the snapshot or a Patreon ISO? Asking because we switched over to using slick-greeter instead of lightdm-gtk-greeter, so trying to figure out where the problem is.
Okay, can you install slick-greeter and onboard, uninstall lightdm-gtk-greeter, and reboot? You should be greeted (pun intended) with slick-greeter and ideally be able to immediately type.
Well, it does work, but I have the same problem as before - a 5-6 second delay before I can type. Here's the latest from the system journal, if that helps. (The time is wrong initially, until I click to connect to the Internet and it syncs.)

I've noticed that this doesn't happen when a filesystem check happens on boot. I guess that adds the few extra seconds that are required to have the mouse/keyboard ready for the login.
This doesn't happen anymore. Probably because I finally switched from linux-lts to linux-current.
