           Summary: Hald doesn't start
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: hal

On bootoing the 2.6.12 kernel, I get:
* Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer:
run-parts: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal exited with return code 2

and when I start Gnome, a "Error, failed to initialize Hal" message pops up.

hald isn't running.

If I run "sudo hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes" everything works just fine.

However if I start hald as a daemon, it shuts down after a couple of minutes.

"sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal start" doesn't say anything and waits until hald
has died.

Everything works just fine with the 2.6.10 kernel.

I'm attaching the output of "sudo hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes".

What can I do to help you trobleshoot this?
