After upgrading from 'breezy' to 'dapper beta 2', the upgrade script added "DAEMON_OPTS=--retain-privileges" to my /etc/default/hal file. Upon rebooting, the hald fails to start. It says --retain-privileges is not a vaild argument. The hald man page say it is valid. If I comment out that line, the hald starts normally, but none of my devices (USB, CD-ROM, etc) will automount. hald --version reports 0.5.7 and kernel is 2.6.15-23-386
-- HAL bootup command is wrong (falls back to -h) https://launchpad.net/bugs/44770 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
