I know what I did before getting this error... I was fiddling with the services-admin program... After click on, if I remember, the printer servers, it stalled for a moment and killed on me. I then got this... When I try to start the services-admin again... I have tried running it at sudo and as sudo su with no luck. I don't remember tuning on the hdparm service... I was just shutting off things like my bluetooth and printer services which I don't use.
