Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
I just updated my Karmic test box to the latest version of the HAL, and
the new version will not start properly by default. It just sits there
saying "Starting hardware abstraction layer hald:" At this point, hald
is actually running, but the script to start it has not terminated,
locking the process. I found that I could work-around the problem by
adding "--background" to the options for start-stop-daemon in the
/etc/init.d/hal file, like this:
do_start() {
if [ ! -d $PIDDIR ]; then
mkdir -p $PIDDIR
chmod 770 $PIDDIR
chown $DAEMONUSER:$DAEMONUSER $PIDDIR
fi
start-stop-daemon --start --background --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE \
--exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
}
