I didn't think it was confusing, sorry. I was suggesting that the
auto-logon might be the problem re: HAL. That was the solution for that on my Dapper. Thought it might help your problem. Worth a try?

indeed when autologon disabled the hal message is gone!

Stupid question maybe, as a new community member, but where do I swicht of auto logon? Is it in the VNC Preference desktop on distance?

I believe they are talking about the login manager (GDM) autologin. So just type (in a terminal) :

Code:

gksu gdmsetup

and uncheck automatic login.
