I attempted to restart hal and it did not stop. I stopped hal and noticed two instances hal-addon-store were still running. After several failed attempts to kill those processes I realized there was a user logged in using KDE. I logged the user out and although the hal-addon-store processes were still alive, the polling stopped. I thought i had got it and restarted hal with no polling errors the entire evening. Today i showed up and at exactly midnight the polling began once again filling syslog with dump traces every two minutes. After thinking about this i recall when i tried to disable polling there was mention of a Samsung DVD drive. The only DVD drive ever attached to the machine was during installation and it was a Samsung USB unit. Looking in udev I see this drive is still listed in the 70-persistent-cd.rules file. I hope this all helps as this is the first bug i have ever reported. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20080508+git20080601-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-4+lenny3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libsmbios2 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.125-7+lenny3 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.13.1.1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:3.0.0-6 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 1.1.2.4-1 utilities and scripts for power ma ii udev 0.125-7+lenny3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.73-10lenny2 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5+deb1-4 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii libsmbios-bin 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa Versions of packages hal suggests: pn gnome-device-manager <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
