I get this too. Concurrency is set to 'none'.

Also, after starting dhcdbd, you will not be given another prompt. Rather, you will just be given a blank line. You can still start hal. Also, after starting hal, there is constant output (You are not given another command prompt). You can still start gdm like you normally would from the command line. Is there any way to start these things automatically, so I don't have to boot into the command line every time? -- Failed to initalize HAL. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
