To me this solution partially helped: sudo apt-get remove --purge hal dbus
I really don't need neither hal, nor dbus. But I need the samba shares to be automatically mounted at boot time. It *partially* works means that sometimes it mounts all samba shares, sometimes it skips some mounts. So it's like a lottery or roulette: every morning at work I don't know if it will mount all my shares. Now I've tried to add pre-up sleep 5 in /etc/network/interfaces: as Andras told in his comment ( https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/44874/comments/44 ) I rebooted and all my shares are mounted. I hope it will work also during the next days ;-) -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
