Bug Description

Binary package hint: pitivi

If hal is uninstalled, and run pitivi, pitivi crash. Tested on Lucid with pitivi 0.13.4-0ubuntu1 and hal 0.5.14-0ubuntu3
Installing hal «fix» the problem. Or just reboot the machine and pitivi won't have any problem.

Perhaps, gudev won't work (see upstream bug report)

The bug is still there. Hal is going to be in final CD of Lucid?

Hello Julian, I just tested in lucid by removing the "hal" package in synaptic, and pitivi still starts up fine for me (both the 0.13.4 version and pitivi git)...

Youwas right, I changed the description and title of this bug. When I remove hal and restart my system pitivi just works :)
