I am another "Failed to initialize HAL" Gutsy user. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. 1G RAM, 80G HD. I had no problems in Fiesty. Did a network upgrade to get Gutsy. WUBI originally used to install Fiesty.
Things are pretty sluggish. System > Administration > Network Settings experience. Dialog is greyed out for about 90 seconds. Then populates. Was able to set-up ethernet and wireless connections, but had to use manual settings. Navigating in this dialog takes plenty of patience. Often over a minute between actions. System > Preferences > Hardware Information Unpopulated dialog opens for about 5 seconds then closes. System > Preferences > Power Management No dialog ever opens. Concurrency setting in /etc/init.d/rc is set to 'none'. -- Failed to initalize HAL. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
