Got the same problem on a Dell E6400 Laptop. Systemd-udevd climbs to 100% cpu usage in minutes, making it verify difficult and horrible to install, if one can manage to find the patience, only to find out that this problem persists after the installation.
I could install after: systemctl disable systemd-udevd.service systemctl disable systemd-udevd-control.socket systemctl disable systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemctl stop systemd-udevd.service systemctl stop systemd-udevd-control.socket systemctl stop systemd-udevd-kernel.socket then kill -9 any systemd-udevd process that remained active After this the installation went fine and fast. Disabling bluetooth in the bios did not work for me. Disabling wireless in the bios works to some extend, systemd-udevd takes around ~50% cpu instead of 100% Downgrade to 4.13 kernel worked like a charm, no problems after that. I had some problems switching to the nvidia driver, so i had to stick with nouveau (which works great) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759836 Title: systemd-udevd consumes 100% of CPU Status in Bluez Utilities: Confirmed Status in linux: Confirmed Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: New Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The systemd-udevd proccess consumes 100% of a thread everytime, but i'm not noticing any difference in my computer.
