Hello. While doing the upgrade hal-0.5.7.1 -> hal-0.5.9, hal was dying on me at startup time. After half an hour of hand-wringing, I found out that it couldn't find /var/cache/hald to place cache files in it and so simply terminated.
It might be a good idea to add a line to the hal installation instructions like: Newer hal versions use a cache diretory to place runtime information there, create it with mkdir -p /var/cache/hald && \ chown haldaemon:haldaemon /var/cache/hald Or somesuch. greets, jens -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 23.....56.......drifting By caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, By the beans of Java do thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, By caffeine alone do I set my mind in motion -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
