When I boot my system I see something like that tach: cannot access /var/run/daemons/hal: Permission denied
This messages is for acpid, alsa, crond, hal. The same said rm, ls and all other commands.

[root@myhost arch]# ls -all /var/run/daemons/
ls: cannot access /var/run/daemons/hal: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /var/run/daemons/alsa: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /var/run/daemons/acpid: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /var/run/daemons/crond: Permission denied

again:

[root@myhost arch]# chmod 0644 /var/run/daemons/acpid
chmod: cannot access `/var/run/daemons/acpid': Permission denied
[root@myhost arch]#

Can I do something to fix this ?

P.S.: My English is not very well, Sorry

Re: acpid, alsa, crond, hal == Permission denied

I would try to reinstall the system. By the way it just happened recently with an upgrade or it was a clean installation???

Re: acpid, alsa, crond, hal == Permission denied

With an upgrade two or three months ago. Well, the system works with no problems, except the battery status.
I think if I try to reinstall system I should destroy root partition (/) rm does not work to remove this files. It like to make a clean install, but this way is not mine ;( Should I do it ?

P.S.: again, sorry for my bad English ;(

Re: acpid, alsa, crond, hal == Permission denied

Could you try to reinstall the packages marked with question marks (?).

i.e

pacman -S hal

or

pacman -S alsamixer

and then you can tell us if it was installed fine and try to list again the files

ls -al /var/run/daemons/
