I don't believe that the Debian bug and this bug are about the same issue. In the debian bug, the hald-runner is crashing, here the root cause seems to be the input probing endianess fix. Can anyone please try this:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep hal apt-get source hal cd hal-0.5.7 rm debian/patches/13_probe_input_endianess.patch debuild -us -uc -b sudo dpkg -i ../hal_*.deb and then reboot and check if it works again? -- Hald won't start after latest updates https://launchpad.net/bugs/43962 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
