Boot up error message on 14.04 LTS
I had a USB keyboard attached to my computer at one time. I no longer have the keyboard. I get this message every time I reboot my computer. It actually takes 15-18 seconds to cycle this error message. I'm looking to anyone that might be able to talk me through the steps to remove this message if possible. I have an old Dell D830 laptop.

A bit obvious, but it looks like your/etc/udev/udev.conffile is corrupt. Did you attempt an upgrade or install an out-of-tree package recently? It's also possible that you have a disk issue. Can you boot the Ubuntu alternate ISO from a USB key and run Rescue Recovery Mode?

Or, you may have a maintenance mode in your GRUB boot menu, also.

On 14.04 "Rescue a Broken System" is on the Server Install ISO. This for 64-bit: releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64.iso or this for 32-bit: releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-i386.iso Either burn those to a CD or use "USB Startup Disk Creator" on another Ubuntu machine or "Rufus" on Windows to create a USB key.
