Bug Description
I've just installed the Gutsy RC release.
Everything worked fine . . . at first.
Now, every time I boot up, when I first log in to gnome, I get a message like:
"failed to initialize HAL", or something similar to that.
Now, when I open a terminal and perform:
sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop
sudo /etc/init.d/hal start
it works just fine.
However, I have to do this on EVERY boot.
To post a comment you must log in.
I have had also this problem after upgrade to gutsy. I thought that HAL uses DBUS subsystem and this dependency could cause problems.
Command runlevel told me that I am in runlevel 2. So I checked my /etc/rc2.d directory: there was a link called S12hal, but S50dbus! After I renamed the latter to S10dbus, the problem was solved.
