Binary package hint: gnome-device-manager
Bug:
gnome-device-manager package does not work in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
What was supposed to happen:
The gnome-device-manager package should have run.
What happened instead:
Upon trying to run the 'gnome-device-manager' from the terminal, it does not run at all and returns this error:
(gnome-device-manager:22850): GnomeDeviceManager-WARNING **: Failed to initialize libhal context: (null) : (null)
(gnome-device-manager:22850): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show_all: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package via the Terminal, but the result is still the same. It also does not install a link to the gnome-device-manager in the Applications -> System Tools menu either.

It is definitely working with me in the following environment :
2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
... and I'm glad about that 'cause I need it trying to answer the question why my sound hardware quit working right after activating the "Freevo Media Centre" (activated with Software-Center in menu "Applications".
Best wishes
