           Summary: Error: failed to initialize HAL! Caused by HP ScanJet
                    4100C (USB)
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: hal

After connecting my HP ScanJet 4100C (USB) to my Ubuntu system, GNOME would hang
for a while after doing a GDM login. After one or two minutes i'd get a small
popup saying "Error failed to initialize HAL!".

After disconnecting (and rebooting the system) the HP ScanJet 4100C, everything
was fine again.

When I start my system and login without the HP ScanJet 4100C connected HAL
keeps working fine. And if I connect the HP ScanJet 4100C after I have logged
in, xsane properly detects the scanner, and the scanner works like a charm.

It's probably related to: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10147

Anyway it's very inconvenient to have to unplug/plug the scanner each time I login.
