Had the same problem on my eeepc with Gutsy. Wireless wouldn't work nor would my ethernet device be detected. I could do a quick 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal start' and it my networking would work fine including the wireless auto starting. I would also have to manually mount my external cdrom and HD, even after I started HAL.
After researching extensively on this site and others, I tried changing my CONCURRENCY=none in /etc/init.d/rc. Now, no error, and my wireless, wired and external cdrom and external HD mount and initialize without issue. Thanks fellas. -- Decaffeinated coffee is kinda like kissing your sister. -- 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
