I've had a lot of success with gnome and BLFS. I'm typing in it in firefox right now, however HAL seems to be failing. here's how my day went: <code>
# ps -A | grep dbus \ 4430 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon 4792 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon 4793 tty1 00:00:00 dbus-launch # ps -A | grep hal # hald # ps -A | grep hal # hald --daemon=no ... block: /sys/block/hda/hda1 (block) block: /sys/block/fd0 (block) Run started hald-probe-smbios (10000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-smbios', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' Warning: Error while wite r->input () to stdin_v. /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-smbios exited Run started hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints (10000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' 27346: XYA attempting to get lock on /media/.hal-mtab-lock 27346: XYA got lock on /media/.hal-mtab-lock in hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure Cannot open /media/.hal-mtab Warning: Error while wite r->input () to stdin_v. /usr/lib/hal/hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints exited Run started hald-addon-acpi (0) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-acpi', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' Run started hald-addon-cpufreq (0) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' 17:45:33.860 [W] addon-cpufreq.c:1178: CPUFreq not supported.

I've been having problems with dbus, but i'm in gnome right now. I checked out udev, and that doesn't seem to be a problem. Simply put, i have no idea whats going on, and i couldn't find anything on google. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- /me -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
