[Bug 31517] Re: hal-device-manager does not load

2006-08-10 Thread Chris Thompson
I too get the "error failed to initialize HAL" when starting up Gnome. When I change to KDE at startup, is "seems" to start normally, but if I try to use Konqueror to browse files, - i.e. by clicking on a folder - Konqueror hangs. Also, if I recall corrrectly, when I clicked on the KDE main menu,

I deeply, deeply regret to say that I was completely unable to find any workaround for this problem, other than to install open suse 10.1, which worked with the hardware flawlessly. Could I suggest that we raise the priority of this problem to High, as it completely precludes one from running Ubun

I would like to confirm that I have the same problem (as "NoOp") on a test system (inability to login using gdm login screen). It is ok when using AutomaticLogin. I have a single user on the system. It failed after an update somewhere between 26 March to 6 April (I was away for a week, came back

For me the system as standard with one user "crt" (or at least via standard updates) has a frozen gdm login screen as described by others. Modify /etc/gdm/custom.conf to add the following: [daemon] AutomaticLogin=crt AlwaysLoginCurrentSession=false AutomaticLoginEnable=true TimedLoginEnable=false

I have determined that (on my system) disabling the Nvidia video driver fixes this problem. When using the Nvidia video driver the following is found in the Xorg.0.log file: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x80e937b] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x61c7d) [0x80a9c7d] 2: (vdso) (__ker

By "disabling" I mean using the "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers" and then specifying "Remove" as the action against Nvidia proprietary driver. Xorg.0.log.old is a better place to look as it seems that when X crashes and restarts the crash log is remained .old, and the new instance of X w
