David, the rpm -V command above doesn't install anything and will only
report on problems found.  If it ran without any output, it means that
you have hal and hal-libs installed and that all the files from those
package match what was originally installed.  (See man rpm for more
details on verifying packages.)

I would look for error messages in /var/log/messages to see why
you seem to be getting errors starting the haldaemon service.  You
could open to terminals and run "tailf /var/log/messages" to watch the
messages logfile in real time.  Hit return a few times to add some
blank space.  This makes it easy to see new lines.

In another terminal, run "service haldaemon restart" and watch for any
errors or warnings in the first terminal.


Pardon my ignorance but what are my options.

rpm {-V|--verify} [select-options] [verify-options]

OK I found some more reading and found "rpm -vv"
There was nothing about 'hal'

Hi david walcroft!

What Todd Zullinger suggested using "tailf" is very cool.  Thank you
Todd for helping Tod with his ability to troubleshoot Linux!

Looking at the thread I believe we know:

1. Hal IS on your system.
2. Hal has trouble stopping and starting.

FWIW - most of the following suggestions come from a Google search on
"Starting HAL daemon: [FAILED]".

First, lets see if we have any of hal running.  Running "aux | grep
hal" as ROOT on my system yields the following:

[root@localhost tod]# ps aux | grep hal

Next, set SELinux to "Permissive" and try restarting hal.  On my
system with SELinux "Enforceing" I get:

[root@localhost tod]# /sbin/service haldaemon restart
Stopping HAL daemon:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting HAL daemon:                                       [  OK  ]

If that yeilds good results go back into "System > Administration >
SELinux Management" and when the "SELinux Administration" window comes
up set it back to "Enforceing" and also hit the "Relable on next
reboot" check box.  Reboot and repeat the test as shown above.

Beyond that I would make a directory in my "/home/me/Documents" called
"hal" and copy to it /var/log/"messages", "dmesg", and "secure" to the
new directory - change the permissions and  ownership of the copied
files to be used my you as the normal user, and then use your favorite
word processor to browse them and do searches on "hal" within them.

Good Hunting!

Tod

My ignorance is showing again,how do I get to change Selinux settings
I'm using KDE
