You can try to edit /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal and change the line set -e to set -xe Then you can restart dbus and all commands in that script will be echoed to STDOUT as they are run. Maybe that will give you a clue where things go wrong. (A quick look in /usr/share/doc/hal did not tell me anything. NEWS.gz states that a kernel >= 2.6.17 is needed but I did not notice any specific modules being mentioned.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |
