I use a small ROX application, devicehandler, which uses dbus and hal to monitor devices. It fails in all combinations when hal 0.5.8.1 is used. Using hal 0.5.7.1 and its patches from garnome 2.16.1 allows the app to function normally. When using 0.5.8.1 the hald-runner libexec program and other needed facilities don't seem to get loaded and this confuses some apps because it cannot find the .org.freedesktop.Hal service.
I redid all from scratch outside of garnome, and these combinations seem to work: dbus 0.93, 1.0.0 dbus-glib 0.71 0.72 (for dbus >= 0.95) dbus-python 0.71 hal 0.5.7.1 with garnome patches FWIW I could not get hal 0.5.8.1 to work with dbus 0.93 so I am not sure what this means for garnome 2.17.1/2. HTH so that others won't have to sweat a day and a half trying to work through the combinations I did! -- Peter +++++ -- garnome-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/garnome-list
