Hal needs a 2.6 kernel to work. But it would be nice if the init script
actually mentioned that on start :)

Bug#292644: hal: Hald can not be started (neither on boot nor from the command line)

2005-01-28 Thread Victor Martinez Moll
Package: hal
Version: 0.4.2-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hald does not start.
Wen run from the command line: /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
the output I get is:
09:48:52.271 [I] hald.c:394: hal 0.4.2
09:48:52.285 [I] hald.c:398: Will not daemonize
*** [DIE] linux/osspec.c:osspec_init():215 : Couldn't get mount path for
sysfs

I have also tried to start hald by hand using the order:

/etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal start

with the same result: hald does not start.
