Hey all,
I wonder if any of you knowledgeable people could help me with these two issues. I've been digging away for months, but I just can't work it out. I've googled like mad gone through the forum but I can't find any solution.

Anyways, here's all the info.

Any help would be great. The poor thing has been limping around for the last couple years. It was my first Gentoo install :D If you need any more information, please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Have you tried re-emerging dbus/hald/related stuff? Maybe without -fomit-frame-pointer to assist in debugging?

Hi Houdini
Thanks for the reply. I've tried that and still the same errors.

Just to bump myself into this thread: The very same for me.

I've installed the latest version 0.5.9-r1. If I add hald to the default runlevel, KDE will die later on. Starting hal on konsole has no effect, it dies very quietly. My system info:

Anyone's speaking russian here?

http://gentoo.ru/node/6793

This thread is marked solved and shows the exact same error message like mine. But I don't understand the rest.

Anyone else?

Thanks, I read this later and extracted just the version 0.5.7 and tried emerging this one.

But no go. Maybe the HAL isn't supposed to work anymore.

And what about your D-bus version. Is D-bus running ok?

I've the latest version installed: sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r2

The error message is dbus related, but I rather think, downgrading to r1 isn't that use- and helpful. I'm at a point with no clue how to solve this, so any help would be very appreciated, even if someone tells me, that it is working on his machine (hal and dbus with versions please).

Anyone's speaking spanish here?

I found this blog post

http://www.sunt.it/blog/2007/04/errore-hal-su-portatile-asus-a6-con-linux-ubuntu/

But it's in spanish, and I don't speak nor able to read spanish.

Anyone? Maybe there is the solution.

It is not Spanish, it is Italy :P But nvm, i can not speak Italy too, but there are 2 links:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369135 -> about this bug in Ubuntu and there is also link for bug report with solution : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/62990. They are speaking about kernel ACPI bug and they advice 2 things :
1) Turn off ACPI by : "acpi=off" in menu.lst in grub boot loader.
or
2) Compile newest kernel : at least 2.6.19 - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/62990/comments/18

Update: I've installed a fresh Gentoo at home, and when starting hald via the init script it freezes. But in the process list there is a hald eating all my process power, without turning into a started status on console.

Edit: Downgrading to sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r5 did the trick for me. At home, but not at work. Strange.

I have the same situation: hal-0.5.9-r1 works fine on my laptop (AMD64) but not on the desktop (i686) - the only solution was to run back to 0.5.7.1 8O

Just to give feedback... downgrade fixed it here, too. Same problem 'bout permissions.

Bye

Hello!

I had the same error when emerging hal 0.5.9 but I could resolve the problem maintaining version 0.5.9:

I did the following in the sequence listed below:

- emerge linux-headers
- emerge glibc
- emerge hal
- emerge hal-info

Just check that you enabled inotivy in the kernel ...

Well, now dbus and hal don't deliver any error messages while startup anymore ...

I've read that this problem occurs when linux-headers was updated without recompiling glibc afterwards ...

Greetings

Hmmmm... ok.. upgraded kernel to 2.6.21-r4, upgraded linux-headers to 2.6.21 and recompiled glibc, dbus and hal.. now I'm getting the error

YAY!!! right.. after many many hours of emerge -e world (over 20 hours and 797 packages) and several dependency problems.. I managed to sort it... dbus now nolonger complains and hal starts no probs... I wish I could explain it in detail, but to be quite honest... I think my system was pretty messed up from the years of abuse that I've hurled at it.

I've the same problem, running ~x86 with dbus-1.0.2-r2 and hald-0.5.9.1-r1 using kernel-2.6.20-gentoo-r6.


Code:

# /usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes
07:40:03.099 [I] hald.c:533: hal 0.5.9.1
07:40:03.100 [I] hald.c:542: Will daemonize
07:40:03.100 [I] hald.c:543: Becoming a daemon


Just sits there and hangs, whilst CPU maxes out. If I Ctrl+C to quit I still have two hal related process running...

Code:

# ps -A | grep hal
 8528 ?        00:03:37 hald
 8529 ?        00:00:00 hald-runner


Which I can kill (-9) and CPU load returns to normal, but obviously hald isn't running.

To follow up on some of the comments in the thread, I've recently updated glibc to 2.6.

Personally I don't feel that emerge -e world is a satisfactory solution, and would be keen to resolve the underlying problem.

There is a bugs at 168033 which discusses the issue, so hopefully things will get solved.

It appears there is a conflict between libgphoto2 and hal-0.5.9 as detailed in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-561490-highlight-hald.html and the bugs it links to (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172830).

I'd only installed libgphoto2/gphoto2 as my camera had stopped being recognised as a USB device (see thread here and patch [url=]here[/url]).

If you have these installed and don't need them you can uninstall them, re-emerge hal and then things should be back to normal...

Code:

equery uses libgphoto2
emerge -C libgphoto2 gphoto2
emerge -av hal
/etc/init.d/hald start


Alternatively you could try the patch give in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172830.

Just noticed, that re-emerging hal on it's own is not sufficient to solve the " * Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon ... [ !! ]" - problem on my machine.

Since error messages indicate something is wrong with "fdi files" and finding out hal-info had something to do with this, I also re-emerged hal-info: this seems to have solved the problem for me.

Of course, YMMV, as I have also followed most of the other suggestions in this thread.
Versions: hal 0.5.9-r1, hal-info 20070425 , dbus 1.0.2-r2, kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 with inotify.
