weird haldaemon problem after update from FC3 to FC4....

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I updated an FC3 computer to FC4.  Printing didn't work on it when it
was FC3. 

The printer won't appear in system-config-printers after the update.  It
didn't before the update either. I did a bunch of tracing and figured
out that something was wrong with dbus and haldaemon.  I went to
system-config-services and stopped hald.  When I restart it, it gives an
error:

haldaemon failed. The error was: Starting HAL daemon:
 [FAILED]

OK... 

I go to /etc/init.d and find haldaeon.

Starting and stopping it gives:
#./haldaemon start
Starting HAL daemon:                                       [FAILED]

OK. 

I go into haldaemon and find:
================================================================
processname=hald
servicename=haldaemon

RETVAL=0

start() {
    echo -n $"Starting HAL daemon: "
    daemon --check $servicename $processname --retain-privileges
...
=================================================================

So... I try it manually:

hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes --retain-privileges
20:24:16.452 [I] hald.c:495: hal 0.5.2
20:24:16.452 [I] hald.c:497: Will daemonize
20:24:16.452 [I] hald.c:507: Becoming a daemon

No errors !

I can't find the path to daemon to see if I can call hald like it does in haldaemon. 

Any ideas ?
