gnome needs "hald"?
whenever i try to do settings for removable media in gnome, i get this error:
"The "hald" service is required but not currently running. Enable the service and rerun this applet, or contact your system administrator."
what could be done?
thanks in advance

Re: gnome needs "hald"?
HALD is the hardware abstraction layer daemon. Add it to the daemons list in /etc/rc.conf and start it up.
(Oh BTW: It's called "hal" in Arch, not "hald".)

Anywhere after dbus (dbus is needed for hal to work).

Re: gnome needs "hald"?
It wasn't? It is put in the 'depends' field, at least in the newest PKGBUILD.
