I've managed to fix it with sudo -i cd /etc/rc2.d ln -s S10dbus ../init.d/dbus rm S50dbus
I'm not sure why HAL is S12hal and dbus was S50dbus when HAL needs dbus to function. I wonder what the proper fix is? -- [gutsy] failed to initialize hal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
