2009/4/1 walt<w41ter%gmail.com@localhost>:Hm. How and when are you starting hald? Are you using the example startup script, etc?I have - copied the example rc scripts for both hal and dbus to /etc/rc.d - set the corresponding variables to YES in /etc/rc.conf - rebooted. After the boot procedure has finished, hald is not running, so I try to see what's going wrong by starting hald manually: # hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
Well, you've done the same things I've done, but hald *is* running on my machine after bootup. During bootup, when the rc.d scripts are running, do you see console messages like 'starting hald'? I do, but if you don't see them then that's where to start looking for problems.
