What you say makes sense but why is udev not running on my system |
| 56 |
anymore? I noticed this mostly because I went to single user, KDE |
| 57 |
seemed to have a few processes that didn't want to die when I logged |
| 58 |
out. Anyway, I used ps and less to list those processes and noticed |
| 59 |
that udev was not running. It used to be running in the past. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
That got me to looking and that is when I found the init script. Even |
| 62 |
after logging back into KDE, udev was still not running. I'm sort of |
| 63 |
concerned that something is not quite right. I haven't rebooted in a |
| 64 |
week or two either. |

Ideas? Thoughts? |
