I get the HAL error on my desktop too but also a number of other errors on my laptop.
I have the saa7134 device in my desktop but nothing like that in the laptop. The saa7134 TV tuner is not being recognised currently with the older kernel (14) by TV tuner apps but does show in lspci correctly. I am currently investigating this - I'm not sure if this is a related problem. -- 2.6.24-15-generic: saa7134-alsa makes HAL to fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212271 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
