I can confirm this too on Karmic. Curiously HALd also refuses to start. The error message telling gvfs-gdu-volume crashed comes very soon after logging in, together with an error message about bzr-notify crashing, as reported in bug #391158.
Running 'sudo hald --verbose=yes' gives no error messages, neither does running 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal start', even though its status is not running. Running '/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor' doesn't give you the next emtpy line in the console, but doesn't output anything at all. Both hal and gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor don't show up at all when you try to run them manually. The only remaining process with hal in it was gvfs-hal-volume(something?). -- gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor crashed with SIGSEGV in gdu_pool_get_presentables() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376145 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
