This happens due to line 38 in /etc/init.d/hal: That is where the offending rm is located.
I changed the line to start with 'test -w "/u/s/h/f/p/gparted-disable- automount.fdi" && ' and that seems to work well enough... The actual rm is there as a aworkaround to LP #134712 (or so it seems), so only removing the file if it exists and is actually writeable is OK... in a ro /usr gparted should never have created the file in the first place anyway. -- HAL requires /usr to be mounted read/write https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
