This is what I originally asked, to include libsmbios and have it working with their HAL. Check the first comment. The guy rejected my bug. What more should I do to make him understand that he needs to backport code to his HAL?
And I can't just recompile HAL. As Tigrux said above, simply recompiling the new HAL crashes in Ubuntu. This is something for Ubuntu to backport or fix. -- HAL is not built with libsmbios https://launchpad.net/bugs/92194 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
