I'm having the same "Fail to initialize Hal" error in my Hardy 2.6.24-16. I can boot up correctly with 2.6.22-14, but I lose my fglrx ogl libraries and my keryring daemon crashes (yet it still seems to work). I've tried all the reconfiguring/reinitialize of hald and dbus, as well as messing with rc configs; still nothing.
After looking at some of my log files, the only error I can find in concern to HAL comes when pulseaudio is first initializing. I'm not sure if it's the cause, and I don't know how to stop it from starting to see if it's the cause. -- 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
