I think I solved it. I looked what happened when I start/stop the services from the console. As it turned out, the service causing the problems was dbus. Stopping or starting it lead to several other services (like hal) being stopped/started TWICE.
In my case, the /etc/init.d/dbus script not only starts/stops services in /etc/rc2.d/ that contain dbus as required service, but also 5 scripts in the directory /etc/dbus-1/event.d/. Removing the scripts in this event.d directory solved the problem for me. My guess is that something failed during the update process and these script aren't supposed to be there. Please report, if this worked for you. -- hal hangs for several minutes on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
