I did look into var log, I didn't find anything troubling. ls /var/log apt btmp dmesg dmesg.1.gz dpkg.log installer.log wtmp boot ConsoleKit dmesg.0 dmesg.2.gz fsck lastlog
ls -l /var/run total 24 drwxr-xr-x 2 messagebus guest 4096 2009-11-09 23:58 dbus drwxrwx--- 2 root root 4096 2009-11-10 01:02 hald -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 335 2009-11-09 23:47 motd -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2009-11-09 23:47 mtab drwxrwx--- 2 root crontab 4096 2009-11-10 00:15 PolicyKit drwx------ 3 root jakub 4096 1985-01-01 00:00 sudo -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 2688 2009-11-10 00:20 utmp but how do i change the ownership of /var/run/hald when it is most probably created during hal install and configuration? (halddeamon group doesn't exist, i suppose i need to create it before the installation is started, is that right?) Shouldn't this be a part of the package installation? (I am just asking, cause to me it looks as a good idea but I respect that it may not be the way things are done) 2009/11/10 Samuel Thibault <samuel.thiba...@gnu.org> > Jakub Daniel, le Tue 10 Nov 2009 01:10:35 +0100, a écrit : > > Starting Hardware abstraction layer: haldinvoke-rc.d:initscript hal, > action > > "start" failed. > > Could you check that /var/run/hald exists and belong to haldaemon? > > > I am unable to get any other data as now log is created as far as i > know... i > > got through > > the /etc/init.d/hal script ... and looked into /lib/lsb/init-functions > and /etc > > /default/hal > > and found nothing :( > > Did you look in /var/log? > > Samuel >
