Error binding control socket

Nixxx · 2010-01-20 22:17:39

Hi All. After today's latest kernel update to kernel26 2.6.32.4-1 when I'm starting the system during boot suddenly appears:

error binding control socket, seems udev is already running

After that the system boots normally. Does anyone experienced such an issue and what does it mean? THNX

Same here . Also before this warning, it prints udevd starts, along with initramfs. I have not noticed this before.

I'm sorry for duplicating the subject but one week has passed and the problem still exists and I didn't find the solution. I hoped that yesterday's kernel update will fix the problem but "error binding control socket, seems udev is already running" appears during the boot process. I know that it's harmless but I would like to do something with this error.

Yeah, it's harmless, it will go away when the newer versions of mkinitcpio are released. Mailing list says just ignore it.

Nixxx - clearly you didn't read the link I posted above. My post in that thread describes a short-term workaround that you can use until the devs fix the bug.

Next time you ask for help and get a response, can you please read it?

If the above is too much for you, here's another workaround - stop watching your system booting.

Profjim - mkinitcpio updated to 0.5.30-1 and the error still appears.
tomk - don't worry I've read your post.

As tomk pointed out, there is another topic covering this, so if there's any questions to be raised or if you want to discuss this issue further, let's centralise our efforts in that topic instead of opening new ones.
