Hal was not running at that time. Is this always the case after booting? Does it work after
sudo /etc/dbus/event.d/20hal start ? If not, can you please get a hal debug output as described on the second half of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices? ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info ** Summary changed: - [apport] hal-device-manager crashed with DBusException in __call__() + hald not running -- hald not running https://launchpad.net/bugs/81973 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
