By the way by setup is x86_64 non-multilib (64-bit only)
So far I tried the following:- -----------A)re-created haldaemon user and group I did not include this:- || [ $? == 9 ] (originally I I used the blfs instruction for hal-0.5.13 which djid not include this. --------B) redid the install with hal-0.5.13 . (each time I removed the old version including the boot-script in /etc/init.d and the links in the rc.d's) plus all the stuff for hal same result. and /var/log/syslog is not much help. It just says ........starting the HAL daemon ......[FAIL] everything else is running d-bus, autofs, random-number-generator etc --------------------- I am using hal with hal-info-20091130.tar.gz (as per the blfs book) and I have autofs. I am wondering if these are the problems? When I did the re-install I dug all the stuff out for hal but was unsure where the stuff for hal-info-20091130 was (though I removed /user share/hal ). Is this where it leaves stuff? -------------------- thanks for the advice and others you might think of will be appreciated. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
