Package: hal Version: 0.5.10-4 Severity: normal I sometimes use USB flash sticks to move data from place to place. This time I had used it and did it properly. I unplugged the stick after having unmounted it.
Later on,I plugged the flash usb stick again into my system and I discovered kde media:/ url was unable to detect it and also the action on removable device pop-up dialogs didn't come up. After looking into dmes I saw hal had crashed. I'm attaching an excerpt of the dmesg output. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-c2toi (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20071212-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.7-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.2.2-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.10-4 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.10-4 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libsmbios1 0.13.10-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.2.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-8 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.114-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mount 2.13-13 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:2.2.4-1.1 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 0.99.2-3 utilities and scripts for power ma ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.73-5 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5-6 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii libsmbios-bin 0.13.10-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa -- no debconf information
