Comment 68 for bug 25931

I had the problem with HAL after upgrade from 7.04 to Gutsy (7.10) two days ago. I found the file /etc/rc2.d/S50dbus, and after renaming it to S12dbus, the problem was solved.

Reinstallation of HAL using synaptic solved some problems (missing suspend to ram and suspend to disk in Shutdown-Menu, no start of System->Settings->gnome-power-preferences), but the error occured again after next reboot.
My first Upgrade to 7.10 was interrupted (missing free disk), perhaps this is the reason for S50dbus?
My machine is Intel Pentium3, 667 Mhz.
