I encountered this error on a Debian Etch installation on a MacBook, dist upgrading to the Testing version.
* Reloading system message bus config... Failed to open connection to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "force-reload" failed. Repeated retries at apt-get dist-upgrade failed with the same error until I manually restarted dbus by: /etc/init.d/dbus restart Then, the dist-upgrade worked fine. And the machine works as expected without any dbus/hal issues there after. -- 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
