Title:
  udevd fails to start: bind failed: Address already in use

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  Booting fails 4 out of 5 times when running my hybrid graphics
  ThinkPad T510 with Intel HD graphics. The boot gets stuck either at a
  black screen or the text mode Plymouth theme. This also rarely happens
  when using the notebook's dedicated Nvidia graphics /w Nouveau.

  lsmod while the system hangs (ssh access possible):
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/612274/

  Using text mode boot revealed following udev errors:

  udevd[***]: error: runtime directory '/run/udev' not writable, for now falling back to '/dev/.udev'
  udevd[***]: bind failed: Address already in use
  udevd[***]: error binding udev control socket
  init: udev main process (***) terminated with status 1
  init: udev main process ended, respawning
  init: udev-fallback-graphics main process (***) terminated with status 1

  Same happens with Natty's kernel.

  After downgrading udev to Natty's version 167-0ubuntu2, the machine
  booted fine again.
