I have HAL compiled and ps shows it running. It seems like Gnome doesn't get passed any environment variables for dbus. I know it started gnome-session, but I don't recall if I saw dbus running afterwards. I do know that if I start dbus from the command line, I see it in ps. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
