Binary package hint: hal-0.5.11-4ubuntu4 (intrepid) I had the same Problem here: hald[6200]: segfault at 0 ip 0806702b sp bf8deec0 error 4 in hald[8048000+52000] in /var/log/messages.
This only happened while the system was booting, restarting hald with "/etc/init.d/hal restart" afterwards worked without it crashing again. For me, it turned out to have happened after issueing "update-pciids" as root (with umask 0007) on my machine. Because update-pciids wrote /usr/share/misc/pci.ids with permissions 660 instead of 644 and thus not giving read permissions to hald running as user haldaemon. Try "sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids" and see if it helps. I'm not shure if it's entirely update-pciids fault or my unusual umask settings for the root user. Anyways i think hald could have handled this a bit more graceful and not by segfaulting. -- hald segfaults https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
