It's entirely possible that you could be.
:(
Perhaps you could provide more information on the bug, e.g. output from
syslog,
I browsed through the syslog and couldn't find anything that seemed
relevant (but then maybe I did it wrong?).
what happens if you run HAL manually, etc.
I'm not sure how to gather the needed output from syslog and I'm not
really sure I understand how to run HAL manually.
Let's see here...
-
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop
* Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald
[ OK ]
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
* Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald
$
-
The response on both was immediate but you'll note the lack of an OK
on the restart.
OK, I'll try this..
-
:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop
* Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald
[ OK ]
:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal start
* Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald
-
It just hangs..
And now for the last of the commands I know of...
-
:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop
* Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald
[ OK ]
:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal force-reload
* Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald
-
Another quick response but no OK on the force-reload.
So then..
-
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up hal (0.5.9.1-6ubuntu1) ...
* Reloading system message bus config...
[ OK ]
* Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald
