Got my HAL working even with CONCURRENCY in /etc/init.d/rc set to shell. Here are the steps I took. (All are included above in previous posts and Bug #149881 link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/149881 .)
Changed the CONCURRENCY setting by: sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc and editing CONCURRENCY=none to CONCURRENCY=shell. Then saving. Compared my /etc/rc2.d filenames to those posted above. My rc2.d was S50dbus instead of S12dbus. Changed that by: sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S50dbus /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus Saw in another thread that hal should be set to 13 so that it starts after dbus is started. My HAL was 12. Fixed that by: sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S12hal /etc/rc2.d/13hal Another post said to change the Hal cache. Did that by: sudo mv /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache~ /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache Restarted PC and all seems fine. Thanks to the Ubuntu posters for your help. Gutsy still starts up awlfully slow compared to Feisty. Any other ideas are appreciated. -- 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
