Hi, So, when I run your qdbus comand, I get this message:
Service 'org.freedesktop.HalManager' does not exist. However, HAL has been compiled and is running on my system: [dwayne@Chiron ~]$ ps axww | grep hal 1257 - Ss 0:16.32 /usr/local/sbin/hald 1258 - I 0:00.09 hald-runner 1286 - IW 0:00.00 hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/ums0 (hald-addon- mouse-sy) 1308 - S 0:05.16 hald-addon-storage: /dev/cd0 (hald-addon-storage) 5495 - S 0:01.78 hald-addon-storage: /dev/da0 (hald-addon-storage) 5500 - S 0:01.66 hald-addon-storage: /dev/da1 (hald-addon-storage) Hope this helps a bit.
