Here's a dump of everything I did. I followed what one of those people
said in bug 43962.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/hal$ sudo dpkg -i ./hal_*.deb
(Reading database ... 118997 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace hal 0.5.7-1ubuntu15 (using ./hal_0.5.7-1ubuntu15_i386.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement hal ...
Setting up hal (0.5.7-1ubuntu15) ...
* Reloading system message bus config [ ok ]
* Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald /usr/sbin/hald: unrecognized option
`--retain-privileges'
usage : hald [--daemon=yes|no] [--verbose=yes|no] [--help]
--daemon=yes|no Become a daemon
--verbose=yes|no Print out debug (overrides HALD_VERBOSE)
--use-syslog Print out debug messages to syslog instead of
stderr.
Use this option to get debug messages if HAL runs
as
daemon.
--help Show this information and exit
--version Output version information and exit
The HAL daemon detects devices present in the system and provides the
org.freedesktop.Hal service through the system-wide message bus provided
by D-BUS.
