I'm not sure if this is really the critical point or if the best hint is the message hald_runner.c:671: Error running 'hald-addon-storage': org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received which I can't do anything with it. The mentioned bug 228155 states the acpi issue is solved, but why does it still log them as an error? If hal tries to open those files and takes those opening failures just as an information, going on without major problems, IMHO those opening failures should be stated as information or warning only, not as an error. So any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Raimund
Ups, this bug was listed twice. Must be a bug ;-) Sorry for that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 269334 ***
