Hello,
I'm having a little trouble with my arch install. During boot it starts syslog-ng and crond. Then when it comes to starting dbus it just displays busy. I tried disabling hal first to see if it was the problem but then it displays busy for mpd which was the next daemon from the list after hal. I was suggested to start the daemons in the background so that one was good. I was able to login. Though I can't seem to start some applications anymore. Doing sudo vim /etc/rc.conf doesn't prompt for a password and Skype just shows a blank window. I am able to run Urxvt though, or trayer, or xmonad.
Any things I should consider?
Btw, I'm not sure which log file should I specifically look at. This also seem to happen after an update yesterday.
Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, it was somehow a problem between dbus, nss_ldap and pam_ldap. Removed nss_ldap and pam_ldap for now. Thanks!

dsdeiz,
Remove the solved flag from your thread or you risk it being ignored by many.
Nevermind. You edited the original post after you found a solution, instead of making a new post or editing your last one, and I didn't notice the timestamps until now. You should probably try to avoid doing that in the future.

I probably made this post longer than it should only because I lack the time to make it shorter.
