Package: hal
Version: 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/hal-get-property
I cannot get a property from a HAL callout script:
+ hal-get-property --udi
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input
--key input.xkb.variant
Could not initialise connection to hald.
Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.
HAL is started (or the callout wouldn't run), so the only
explanation I have is that HAL does not able to answer queries while
processing callouts. It seems hal-set-property has the --direct
option (not documented in the manpage) to work around this, but
hal-get-property does not recognise that option.
How am I to read parameters from HAL during the execution of a HAL
callout script, if the standard user interface methods don't work?
