*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 81670 *** How long should I have to wait after the login prompt before logging in? I've tried waiting 60s but still get "Failed to initialize hal" dialog. For what its worth, I find that doing "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" gets things working again for me, although avahi-deamon appears not to be running before the dbus restart, in case thats relevant. I'm running feisty x64 which showing the problem duel booted with edgy x32 which doesn't.
Am I describing a separate problem? any logs / information I can provide that would be useful? -- gdm session may fail if loging in immediately after a boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/84718 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
