Package: hal Version: 0.4.8-2 Severity: normal
I am just wondering is this hal package (and more specifically hald program) supposed to open all cdrom and dvd drives disc bays (and keep opening them if you closed them manually) and make floppy drive tick? If it does what it is supposed to do, why gnome package depends on hal? I don't want to keep my drives open gathering dust and hear annoying ticking noise from floppy drive. I got bored with floppy drive ticking already when I used Amiga. Even then I used program that made ticking sound go away. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-git Locale: LANG=fi_FI, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.64 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus-1 0.23.4-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dbus-glib-1 0.23.4-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage0 0.4.8-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal0 0.4.8-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii pciutils 1:2.1.11-15 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.056-3 /dev/ management daemon ii usbutils 0.71-5 USB console utilities hal recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
