Martin, your fix appears to do the job. Though I didn't actually build a new package, I just ran update-rc.d -f hal remove update-rc.d hal start 24 2 3 4 5 . stop 16 1 . which resulted in hal's priorities being deferred to S24. Everything's running smooth now. Looking at hal's postinst script, I'm wondering why we don't invoke update-rc.d regardless of the hal version? Just to be on the safe side... Glad we got this one squashed though :)
And, just for the records: @Martin: Nope, haven't used Automatix. @Bruce: Thanks for your comment, but my Inspiron 6400n (aka e1505) came pre-installed with Ubuntu, all of its components are supported by Ubuntu and I don't have any peripheral devices attached to it. -- 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
