I did as Martin suggested and all is well now!!! The hald man page still reports that --retain-privileges is valid, so that needs fixing, but now the hal works as it should, at least on my laptop. Thanks Martin. -Chuck -- HAL bootup command is wrong (falls back to -h) https://launchpad.net/bugs

I don't understand this. It may very well be that earlier hal versions used this, but the recent dapper one doesn't. Can you guys please do this: sudo dpkg -P --force-depends hal sudo apt-get install hal to get a clean reinstall of hal, and then check again? Right now it is very likely that you

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

I upgraded from Kubuntu dapper beta 1 (text mode install cd). I have removed klaptop in favour of Kpowersave, which doesn't work because HAL is broken (at least I think that's the reason no menus will show 'sept help and close). The only system files I've modified we're xorg.conf, /etc/modules, gco

Where does the --retain-privileges option come from? This does not exist any more and has never been in an ubuntu hal package. Did you upgrade or sidegrade this installation from Debian or another OS, or modify the init script manually at some point? ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: Unc

Here's a dump of everything I did. I followed what one of those people said in bug 43962. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/hal$ sudo dpkg -i ./hal_*.deb (Reading database ... 118997 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace hal 0.5.7-1ubuntu15 (using ./hal_0.5.7-1ubuntu15_i386.deb) ...

Wait, maybe this bug report is still valid. I still can't initialise HAL. I read something about the boot (thru ctrl alt F1'ing) that said something about --retain-privelledges is not a valid *something* (I think it was parameter but I'm not sure.) -- HAL bootup command is wrong (falls back to -h

Shoot, I can't read. This bug probably dupes #43962. Also, I read #43962 and it seems dbus has been upgraded, so I'll just install the upgrades and post back here tomorrow about my mouse problem (will file a new bug repor though). -- HAL bootup command is wrong (falls back to -h) https://launchpa
