roly Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) I have just started getting this notice whenever I try to access media such as cdrom or usb. The HALdeamon does not start on a re-boot but will start in MCC. I have googled the error and it looks like is happening with various distro's. I tried various suggestions but no joy. Linux localhost 2.6.22.19-desktop-2mdv #1 SMP Mon May 5 20:55:05 EDT 2008 i686 Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.53GHz GNU/Linux Half a gig of ram and disk is not full. Madriva 2008 spring Roly There is a solution. Run the following commands and then re-boot. :) 1. Login as root 2. cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d 3. for l in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99*; do s=${l#*/S99}; chkconfig --del $s; chkconfig --add $s; done 4. chkconfig --add messenger 5. reboot I hope I have remembered everything properly. Good luck Roly Edited September 5, 2008 by roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yes, I've had haldaemon do this to me on one of my systems, and I kind of got around it by putting the following in /etc/rc.local: service haldaemon start of course, it could be called hald for you in Mandriva, but in CentOS it was in full like I mentioned. Just change haldaemon with your service name. What will happen is rc.local will run before you're able to login to your desktop. So once you log in, you'll have auto-mounting again.

daniewicz Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 It is called haldaemon in Mandriva 2008.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulopen Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have the same problem. The workaround suggested didn't work for me. Paulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roly Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) I can start the haldeamon when in MCC but it makes no difference. All I have done is regular updates. As I mentioned other distro's are seeing it also. I would do a new install but am on a slow dial-up and the thought of all those updates :unsure: Edited September 5, 2008 by roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 The following is reported in Mandriva 2008.0 that has been updated. By any chance are you experiencing this? Booting issues after a recent update of 2008.0 Try the following command in Konsole: /sbin/prcsys --test S /etc/rc5.d and see what it reports. Look for an error similar to: WARNING! Loop detected haldaemon -> messagebus -> Ignoring requires messagebus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roly Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I ran the command and did see the message exactly like you quoted. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
