HAL fails to initialize after logout and subsequent login

[David Antonetti]

Computer: Gateway MX6920 Laptop
Distro: 7.04 Feisty Fawn

After waking the laptop from standby mode and unlocking the screen, the wireless network connection won't reinitialize to the network it was connected to before going into standby. I tried logging out and logging back in, at which time I received the error:

Internal Error

failed to initialize HAL!

A USB thumb drive formatted with FAT32 was inserted the whole time, but this happens often enough even when there's no external drive plugged in.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

For solution, see: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#HAL
Short answer: mv /etc/rc2.d/S50dbus /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus.
