I recently upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and found that hal-device- manager was crashing for me too. Attached is the crash report.
After reading the helpful post above, I installed gnome-device-manager (it was not installed as part of the upgrade) and it works fine. ** Attachment added: "_usr_bin_hal-device-manager.1000.crash" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14185481/_usr_bin_hal-device-manager.1000.crash -- "Hardware Information" (hal-device-manager) crashes when started https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
