Ladies and gentleman, I'm trying to solve some problems with my system right now... one of them and the most important is hald do not start up anymore. This problem arose the day I run e2fsck to check some partitions, including /var, /usr and /tmp, and it really messed up with the files there...

I lost almost everything stored in those partitions, but the disks seems to be all right so I thought it should be a file system problem... After an intensive use of emerge I could bring the system up and running, but hald is not OK. I already tried to emerge it and no luck.

It is what I get in /var/log/messages everytime I try to start it up:

Code:

And it is what I get at console level:

Code:

cibonato@peligro ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/hald start
cibonato@peligro ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/hald start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                         [ ok ]
 * Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon ...                                                                           [ !! ]


By the way, dbus and ConsoleKit is running fine.

Greetings.

start it manually from a console like this
Code:
hald  --daemon=no --verbose=yes --use-syslog=no
and see what it tells you.
Code:
man hald
might also help.
GOOD LUCK!

Was your system running when you did e2fsck?
Or did you use a livecd or similar?

Great. It's working again.

It seems policykit was the root of the problem. Re-emerge it was the solution (I re-emerged hald too).

Thank you so much.
