I am also getting the non-responsive keyboard/mouse. Dual Opteron, 64-bit Ubuntu desktop 9.04. Worked fine until the latest update and reboot. Xorg.0.log seems to indicate hald hadn't started. I ssh'd into the machine to see that indeed hald hadn't started. I have tried reinstalling hal and hal-info to no effect. The /etc/init.d/hal script looks fine and the symlink (S24hal) is in rc2.d. I can manually start it with 'sudo /etc/rc2.d/S24hal start' . Once manually started, all seems to work fine. I am at a loss as to why it doesn't start automatically.
running 'sudo hald --daemon=no --use-syslog --verbose=yes' gives a few error messages about an acl-list problem (error opening/creating /var/run/hald/acl-list). Not sure if that is important. -- [jaunty] Keyboard and Mouse Frozen on Login Screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335297 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
