I changed my grub boot options to add "vga=0x323" to them to resolve some issues with corrupted display during startup/shutdown on my laptop.

The next time I booted the system up, I got a warning over the login screen saying

Xfce Power Manager

HAL Daemon not running

The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. After a minute or so, they start to work and the system functions as normal.

How can I solve this?
