To administrate, be root - become so "su". >From "man hald": ------------------------------------------------ BUGS AND DEBUGGING Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the HAL mailing list, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal on how to subscribe. First, to obtain useful debug traces you will need to have debuginfo packages installed. On a Fedora system this is in the hal-debuginfo package and can be installed via the yum update program. Second, shut down the existing hald daemon instance; on a Fedora system this is achieved by /etc/init.d/haldaemon stop After having shut down the daemon, you might want to run pkill hald to ensure that all the helper processe of hald are killed too. To start the HAL daemon, use /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes gdb /usr/sbin/hald and then typing run --daemon=no --verbose=yes at the (gdb) prompt. To capture a back trace, use the bt command and attach this to the bug report. Please also attach the output of lshal(1) in the bug report if possible (it's not possible if the hald daemon crashed). If the nature of the bug has to do with hotplugging, attach two outputs of lshal(1) - one before the device hotplug event and one after. SEE ALSO udev(7), dbus-daemon(1), lshal(1), hal-set-property(1), hal-get-prop- erty(1), hal-find-by-property(1), hal-find-by-capability(1), hal-is- caller-locked-out(1) ----------------------------------------------------------- Have fun!
