Without knowing more details, it could be the same issue I had with Gutsy. After each install, I've had to run the following command to make HAL work: sudo /usr/lib/hal/hald-generate-fdi-cache It won't make your system any worse off than it is now. It can take a little while, even on newer hardware, so be patient. -Jared Schlicht -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
