I have pretty much the same problem. I upgraded from feisty to gutsy and after I rebooted, it gave me that popup "Failed to initialize HAL". My system does not freeze. It finishes loading. I just have no network and I cannot mount my usb keydrives or cd/dvdrom. The wierd part is that if I go to synaptic and re install HAL, Log off and log back in, Everything is fine. Reboot and the same thing happens again. For some reason HAL does not start at boot, But it starts upon re-install? -- [gutsy] Failed to initialize HAL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144044 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber (via bug 25931). -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
