A few weeks before the release of 11.04, there was evidently an update which caused at least part of the problem to cease. I still saw the 10.04 background on the login screen (which switched immediately to the 10.10 background once I had logged in), but the udev message no longer appeared.
I won't go into my reasons for doing this but, rather than try a network upgrade on this particular computer (Asus Eee PC 1000/Linux, formerly with Asus' proprietary distro but replaced with Ubuntu last year), I decided to 'wipe' (with DBAN) and completely reinstall Ubuntu (with 11.04). I have very few programs on this computer; my wife and I use it when traveling to get e-mail, listen to internet radio stations, and so forth. It has two hard drives, both SSDs - 8 GB (primary) and 32 GB (secondary). (Why Asus made it this way I cannot understand; until you really get to understand how to coordinate the two drives, it can be a real pain.) The 'wiping' process took a couple of hours; reinstallation of Ubuntu took only a half-hour and the configuration to our tastes took another hour. Now everything works perfectly. I recommend that anyone who is annoyed by this udev message (or who is having some other problems) consider wiping and reinstalling. It has certainly worked for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647404 Title: Udev worker error during boot "worker [XX] did not accept message -1 (Connection refused), kill it -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
