Fixing a problem with hald on Ubuntu 8.10

Saved for my own reference as much as anything. I was having a problem this morning on my Ubuntu x86-64 where I was getting nothing but a spinning cursor (the busy cursor) where I should have seen gdm. The problem was the HAL daemon (hald) wasn’t starting and I couldn’t figure out why. After digging through several bugs, this gem presented itself, and I tried the changed gdm script. It didn’t fix the problem, but when I ran “lshal” by itself, I got:
lshal: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_regex_unref
This helped me find a reference on slackware-italia.com that helped me solve my problem: my ld.so.conf.d had no reference to /usr/lib, only /usr/local/lib. I added it and all is well.
