[Bug 31517] Re: dbus does not start

[Martin Pitt]

Hugh, ok, so nothing unusual in your logs. This bug became horribly
complicated since all sorts of different bugs got amalgated into this
one, so let's clear up a bit.

This thread begun with hal-device-manager not starting, which was fixes
ages ago.

The hang due to having samba shares is already known as bug 44874. Folks
who have this problem, please have a look at that bug.

If anyone still has the problem of a non-existing 'haldaemon' user
(check that 'id haldaemon' prints an error), please file a new bug. It
works well when upgrading breezy to dapper, or installing dapper from
scratch here.

So let's devote this bug to the kernel oops produced by starting dbus, as shown in

Kernel gurus, can you make some head and tail of the oops trace?
