2010-04-15 10:56:44 Iain Buclaw summary HAL - service init scripts missing from package pcmanfm - does not trigger hal startup
2010-04-15 10:58:31 Iain Buclaw affects hal (Ubuntu) pcmanfm (Ubuntu)
2010-04-15 11:02:49 Iain Buclaw description Binary package hint: hal [~] dpkg -L hal | grep etc /etc /etc/hal /etc/hal/fdi /etc/hal/fdi/information /etc/hal/fdi/policy /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe /etc/dbus-1 /etc/dbus-1/system.d /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf As you can see from above, the service init scripts for hal are missing from the Lucid package, this causes applications that depend on hald to not function properly. ie: thunar or pcmanfm managing external disks/cdroms. The current workaround I'm doing is putting 'hald --daemon=yes' in the rc.local file, this is _not_ acceptable. If I install a service, I expect it to come with the necessary configuration to be hooked easily into the boot process. Please re-add: /etc/init.d/hal /etc/init/hal.conf Regards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: hal 0.5.14-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-18.27-generic 2.6.32.10+drm33.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-18-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Apr 5 23:31:53 2010 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: hal Since hal service daemon has been removed from system startup - pcmanfm should try to connect to hal, even if no service is running. The current implementation in Lucid (and prior) is that it backs down too soon. What it should really be doing is continuing anyway, where it will error out if it truly can't get a hal service running.
