Just for a better understanding of this bug, can you please do

  lshal > lshal.txt

and attach lshal.txt here?

Hey Guys

I am getting the same error. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 6000. I have attached a lshal.

Cheers, Johnny

Now I don't get the same error anymore, but probably not because the bug doesn't exist anymore, rather because now I get bug #83979 ...
Could it be that it's rather a Python error?

[old_toby (simon-hornweb)]

Cool, now everything works. I don't know what it was, but as long as it works I'm happy.

I have the same error on a liveCD trial on my laptop (ASUS W7J). I was browsing my "bluetooth" section in HAL and it crashed the same way. I also attach my lshal for info.

[Expired for hal (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I've seen this twice now on Gutsy since installing from the beta DVD.

hal-device-manager does not exist any more in hardy, it was removed upstream. gnome-device-manager is the replacement.
