i have been encountering a problem with hal 0.5.8.1-3. sometimes hal does'nt get started at boot. i have added hal in daemons section of rc.conf, but many times it simply fails to load at boot time. konqueror coul'nt mount the devices from storage device media, it says "Error, feature only available with hal". but it works sometimes.

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Be sure to have an up2date kernel version. Hal requires a quite modern kernel nowadays (2.6.20 should work for sure, no idea about 2.6.19)

Do you start hal or dbus backgrounded on startup? (@ sign in DAEMONS array?)

no, is that necessary?
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Wednesday, 20 December 2006, 12:34 GMT
No, starting it backgrounded is known to cause issues, that's why I asked.

its a bug, it used to work fine before i upgraded to 2.6.19, though i am not sure what is causing problem. is there any problem to look for error? i searched in log files /var/log/, could'nt find any hal specific messages/errors.
