Thank you. Yes, you're quite right - the root cause is trying to start udev when it is already running (although this really shouldn't have such symptoms). Perhaps the udev start script should check for udevd already running, and if so, it should just do a udevtrigger and exit.
However, in the first place, why did I add udev to rc2.d? Answer: because I looked in KDEs system services GUI, and saw that udev was NOT marked as "start at boot". This is a bug in KDE, since it doesn't read rcS.d ! -- /dev/null: Permission denied https://launchpad.net/bugs/63031 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
