Everytime I reboot/ start up my laptop it displays the /proc/bus/usb error with option to either to skip or to manual configure. I always select the "skip" option. I want to get this fixed since it maybe causing an unknown problem. I hav e Dell Inspiron.

I suggest you check your BIOS settings are ok with respect to USB as well as fsck your disk so you know all is well. Also make sure you are fully up to date.
Can you also give the output of:
lsb_release -a; uname -a
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have checked the upgrade manager 2 times since and
it says that I am up to date. How do you check the BIOS settings? What do I
need to do?

When I enter Ctrl-Alt -Enter during the startup (i.e. to check the BIOS), I
get the following:
udevd[306]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use
ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in
etc/udev/
Is also says:
/dev/sda1: clean, 275305/9453568 files, 2534802/18876367 blocks (check in 3
months)
Is there anymore info that you need?
