APTonCD load button does not work even after installing hal

I'm using APTonCD on my ubuntu 13.04 amd64 installation. I've installed hal, but the load button in the restore menu of APTonCD does not work at all.

When I run APTonCD through the terminal, this is the output I get after clicking the load button:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/APTonCD/restore/restoreWindow.py", line 205, in on_btnLoadFrom

bus = dbus_helper.DeviceList()

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/APTonCD/core/dbus_helper.py", line 26, in __init__

self.hal_object = self.bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Hal', '/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager')

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 241, in get_object

message, timeout)

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch  helper exited with unknown return code 1

I can't make any sense about why this would be happening, and I would really appreciate some help

You need to downgrade to the version of hal used in 12.10 Quantal [download the Quantal hal packages from packages.ubuntu.com]. Uninstall the current version of hal [and it's 3 libraries]. Install hal-info first [I use Gdebi], then libhal1, libhal-storage1 and finally hal itself. Ignore warnings about later versions being available in the software channel. After this hal should load when you hit the restore button in APTonCD. Lock the hal versions with Synaptic or you might accidentally upgrade and recreate the problem.
