On a fresh install of feisty final, using no auto-login but instead waiting until all init scripts are finished and then logging manually in, I still get the error. I tried # sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal which gave me: UUID file '/var/lib/dbus/machine-id' contains invalid hex data [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dbus# cat machine-id Name: adduser/homedir-permission Right, this doesn't look like a hex value ;) I don't know where this string comes from. I deleted machine-id and did [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dbus# dbus-uuidgen --ensure [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/dbus# cat machine-id 8084dbe5dda580d55fa79e0046418245 This looks better. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/run/dbus# /etc/init.d/dbus restart works now. I'll try a reboot now to see if it still works or if my machine-id gets overwritten with invalid data again. -- failed to initialize HAL : gdm init script priority should be at least equal to dbus one https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
