Hi, I'm getting the "Failed to initialize HAL" error message after upgrading to 8.04 alpha last week.
Running this in a VMware Workstation virtual machine for testing. Happens on every boot. Investigated a few options people mention on the forums, but nothing worked. Then looking at the /etc/rc2.d directory I noticed hal wasn't even listed! S12dbus -> ../init.d/dbus S13gdm -> ../init.d/gdm and no hal at all. Did a: $ sudo ln -s ../init.d/hal S15hal And rebooted, and now everything seems to start up properly. The "CONCURRENCY" level in /etc/init.d/rc hasn't been touched, it was already at "none" when I checked. Hope this helps. -- Failed to initalize HAL. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
