HAL not initialized
 

I recently upgraded my system with available updates (not sure which packages is causing the problem), but now whenever I boot my system receiving the following error:

"Failed Initializing HAL and Configuration could not be loaded
".

I looked on ubuntuforums, reinstalled HAL and DBUS as well, but it didnt help. Now, my external USB keyboard has also stopped working, not sure if it's due to the HAL error.

Any idea?

Perhaps /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf is wrong?

Here is mine:

If I were you, I'd do this risky thing to fix it:

sudo telinit 1
sudo dpkg --force-all -P hal
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install hal
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
exit

after that, your system should be back to normal. you might want to
reboot just to be kosher.
