Same behaviour here. I tried to uninstall/reinstall hal dbus but nothing. Seems like anyway that if I boot ubuntu in rescue mode [single mode] I'm able to run and start dbus and hal. This *does not* happen instead with normal boot.
Right now the steps I do to have my working gnome desktop are: 1. boot in rescue mode 2. at prompt # I give 'gdm' 3. slowly my gdm appears and I can login. this is a pain anyway, it would be great if someone could fix the hal problem. Thanks and regards.
