I just upgraded my laptop from FC4 to FC6 and except for the typical hand-to-hand combat with Yum and dependencies, etc. (memo to self: check if apt-get is any easier resolving dependencies) things are O.K., just the usual methodical running of all the extra 3rd party apps I installed to make sure they still function (I did a CD upgrade and then a yum update). Anyway I am trying to get "hald" to once again automount like it did under FC4. From what I understand hal, dbus and udev have to be running as daemons, and here is what my "ps" shows:
$ ps auwx|grep hal 68 2372 0.0 0.1 2288 764 ? S Dec17 0:00 hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket root 2373 0.0 0.1 3392 916 ?

BTW, while I was searching around for tips I ran across this blog with a funny picture of a guy at the 2005 Free software conference in Cancun... There has gotta be a better way! http://machuidel.themirror.nl/?offset=250&id=41&PHPSESSID=3d1495ba7b649185752edd2d4830665b (search page for: "Saturday - December 2nd") TIA! rbw -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
