Comment 43 for bug 25931

hi paul j here.

i am running gutsy tribe 5. my startup would run and then drop into text mode at Starting system tools backends system tools backends. machine would then hang for 2-3 minutes gdm would start and as soon as desktop loaded Failed to initialize HAL. i looked around and found dbus and hal starting as S12dbus and S12hal in /etc/rc2.d/. i also saw in upstart info that hal is dependent on dbus so i changed hal to S13hal and gdm to S14gdm in /etc/rc2.d/ by deleting links and relinking. everything is fine now. i dont know if this helpful or correct. i hope it is helpful
