Reassigning to hal (was network-manager). Let's find out what is the problem with your hald, hoping it will fix your network-manger problem.
I had that problem once, it was caused by me removing haldaemon, you may look at this by: cat /etc/group|grep hal and see if a line like: haldaemon:x:116: is there (can be an other number than 116). That said, there can be many other causes. Read bug #24029, and see what may apply to your case. Please begin by " dmesg > ~/dmesg.log" ant then attach dmesg.log to this file. ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: network-manager => hal Assignee: (unassigned) => Paul Dufresne (dufresnep) Status: New => Incomplete -- hald failed to initialize on start up, Gusty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
