what do you have connected via USB or other methods?
Also do not attempt to un-install HAL it will break your system.

i have a razor dimond(mouse) back and a lapcool3(laptop cooler) and the cat5 cable

i think the cat5 cable has something to do with it?
maybe i need to to update my kernel?

ok, the cat 5 cable has something to do with it, it is connected to a router but that shouldn't make a difference. so other forum said it was samba and auto login that was doing it, they said to disable it(i just installed it i was disabled already)?

what happens if you stick a CD in the drive before you boot? (a music CD for example) Also, does this message prevent you from entering GNOME? Or can you continue past this message?

Msta · 01-02-2007, 04:53 PM

it lets me enter gnome, if i get in, it says the error

That's what I thought. Now did you try what I wrote above?

Its a problem in Ubuntu that is resolved by reinstalling HAL via Synaptic. I have see this fix for too many not to recommend it.

# Bootup to your desktop and if this doesn't work, reboot and put a CD in the drive and HAL won't give the error and you are able to get to synaptic.
# Reinstall HAL
# Remove the media from the CD-Drive.
# Reboot and it should now be fixed.
