@nyamap, thanks for your tip which has allowed me (with a mod) to log in to Gnome desktop on EeePC.
You have two errors in your step 3 (you must use hal-set-property, not hal-set-priority; also, you need to use the UUID string, not the info.udi string), so here are the corrected steps to follow: 1. Login with Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Xterm session. 2. run 'hal-device' to find device which contains root file system. (device means not media but controller device) on my EeePC, it is device 2. Look for the device that has volume.mount_point = '/'. Make a note of the udi string. 3. mark that device to unremovable using 'hal-set-property --udi "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6662900c...." --key storage.removable --bool false' Your own device will have a different string beginning with "volume_uuid_" Run this in the shell and if it works, put in rc.local, then restart gdm with 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' -- gnome-keyring-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in location_manager_hal_init() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
