HAL error

['Forum Post]

I've got an iBook and my 'gnome-volume-manager' used to crash about 30
seconds after coming out of suspend. It was because the dbus-1 service
failed during suspend.

I filed an bug '(http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9957'
(http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9957)) and was told that it
would be fixed in Breezy.

Anyway, I solved the problem (sort of) by getting dbus-1 to start when
it came out of suspend - it might solve your problem. YMMV. However, as
Breezy is just around the corner maybe you can wait. This is what I did
about 3 months ago:

Make a new script in /etc/power/scripts.d:


Code:
--------------------
     $ sudo echo "/etc/init.d/dbus-1 start" > /etc/power/scripts.d/start-dbus
--------------------
 
Create a 'resume.d' directory in /etc/power

Code:
--------------------
     $ sudo mkdir /etc/power/resume.d
--------------------
 
Create a link from resume.d to the scripts directory:

Code:
--------------------
     $ sude ln -s /etc/power/scripts.d/start-dbus /etc/power/resume.d/99start-dbus
--------------------
 
As I say, your mileage may vary as I'm on an iBook and you're on a
PowerBook.

Cheers
Alex.
