I am following this as I am having the same problems. I have checked the /etc/rc2.d folder and I don't have a S20dbus file, no dbus file in that folder at all.
I do have an @20dsub file in the /rc3.d folder I changed this to S12dbus with on effect. This problem is getting to the stage where I might just reinstall Windows, much as I don't want to do that. aghhhhhhhh -- Failed to initalize HAL. https://launchpad.net/bugs/25931 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
