Comment: When starting gnome the following comment comes up: Internal error failed to initialize HAL! None of the USB functions work or, funnily enough does update-notifier. Trying to debug using wiki instructions for removable drives the following happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ update-notifier update-notifier: hal_initialize failed: (null) : Resource temporarily unavailable ** (update-notifier:7881): DEBUG: tray_icons_init [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ killall gnome-volume-manager gnome-volume-manager: no process killed [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnome-volume-manager -n 2>&1 | tee gvm.log ** (gnome-volume-manager:8147): WARNING **: manager.c/3016: hal_initialize failed: (null) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lshal > lshal.txt error: libhal_ctx_init: (null): (null) Could not initialise connection to hald. Normally this mean the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready. This is on an dist-upgrade from a fully functioning breezy installation. It was current as of the time & date of this comment. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
