phatsteve Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 uninstalled hal, it also uninstalled 111 other packages 'to satisfy dependancies' , took out kde, unable to login. As it's a new installation (1week old) I'll re-install, leaving out backports etc, but I will need plf for codecs etc (I use Tovid a lot, it's brilliant) Thanks for all hints and suggestions.

Guest dedanna1029 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) For me, a reinstall did absolutely no good whatsoever. hal still fails on boot with Bad exit status: 7. I agree with phatsteve. What would repos have to do with this? All of my repos are set up and fine. Makes no diff whatsoever. The doggone thing doesn't work. Plain and simple. Now we need to know how to fix it. Edited September 18, 2007 by dedanna1029 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 hal is a rather vital service, so if it was *generally* broken, I'd expect rather more reports than this. as I said earlier, you should run the hal daemon manually and see what errors you get. run: hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes and tell us what happens.
