Thank you David. Your patch worked for me too. My own patches posted on 2007-07-07 and 2007-07-08 don't work. I'm still trying to make them work.
Unfortunately ubuntu update notifier constantly suggests to replace the patched version with a more recent version because I applied the patch to version 0.5.8.1 of hal. I saw that you tried to draw the hal developers' attention to the bug and your patch on the hal mailing list and I am astonished that neither the hal nor the ubuntu developers seem to take notice of it. -- empty CD not correctly recognized by hal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
