I ran into this problem after a Feisty->Gusty upgrade on a Mac G3 (PowerPC) machine. after renaming /etc/rc2.d/S50dbus to /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus the problem went away. (all other rc?.d/*dbus links where correct - only the rc2.d one was wrong).
Since this is a fully backed-up machine, I checked my pre-upgrade backup (which was updated minutes before the upgrade): the file was properly named /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus Therefore it is the upgrade process that named the link S50dbus Hope this helps... -- Failed to initalize HAL. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
