Be careful using newer dbus releases. A security issue was found in how dbus determines privileges. It's fixed in newer releases, but it means that some configuration files (i.e., /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf) that were working are now in error. You may want to give one of the "permissive" releases a try to make sure this is not your issue. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus#head-ed92e8f84ae0374ae3a2e3f714c2eb0037a84868 -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
