HALD failed to initialize!, Gusty

[Johne]

After starting up and logging in to GNOME i'm notified that hald has failed to initialize. This makes NetworkManager unable to work, being able to suspend from the logout screen is not possible , and any thing else that uses the hal daemon can not fully function. The current work around from me is to open up a console and run "sudo hald". I'm using and inspiron 1420n that i bought from dell preloaded with feisty, which i upgraded to gusty. I have add no new hardware, and this problem persists since i upgrade to gusty, across the 2.6.20 kernel (from feisty) to the newest gusty kernel. Thank you for your help in advance.

I can confirm this.
If I start the Removable and Media, I get this error.

Volume management not supported.

The "hald" service is required but not currently running. Enable the service and rerun this application, or contact your system administrator.

Note: You need Linux kernel 2.6 for volume management to work.

Need to run: sudo hald --daemon=no, to access my usb stick.

And network manager just hangs when I try to access it.
Please let me know if any other info is needed and I will post it.

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 it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
