*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 25931 *** Hello,
I was struggeling with this too. When I set login to automatic, I got this 'Internal error. Failed to initialize HAL' error. For now I solved by: sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm /etc/rc2.d/S21gdm to start gdm after dbus. I have not encountered nasty consequences (yet) and automatic login works now. Anyway I hope this is helpful. -- failed to initialize HAL : gdm init script priority should be at least equal to dbus one https://launchpad.net/bugs/81670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
