Bug Description
I noticed that hald wasn't running when testing the live CD. A bit of stracing
(it would be nice if syslog were available) showed that the problem was that
/var/run/hal was owned by root:root, rather than hal:hal.
To post a comment you must log in.
It seems that previous versions of hal had an /etc/init.d/hal script (which the
wartylive init scripts called), but 0.2.98-1ubuntu4 doesn't.
Starting /usr/sbin/hald manually fixes this, but shouldn't hal start at boot
time anyway?
also, ls -ld /var/run/hal on my version shows the directory to be owned by hal:hal.
