How do you get hal working?
What is the proper way to get hal working ?
Do I need to start gnome-volume-manger ?
How do you get hal started seems that adding it to rc.conf [DAEMONS] does not work
Its odd never had many problems mounting until recently
Or is it just again lol

Re: How do you get hal working?
What's the message you get when you try to start HAL ?
I have dbus hal in [DAEMONS].
If you use gnome, you should use gnome-volume-manager if you want automount. You can configure it with gnome-volume-properties

Re: How do you get hal working?
To start hal I had to run it in a term .... which is ok
But I would rather get it working in DEAMONS do you use @ in front of hal & dbus?
If I run ipod from cli it does not pick up anything weird!
hal seems to find it [or may just be setup! to find it]
Would be nice to get it working again

No. I remember when I installed GNOME I added
portmap fam dbus hal to the DAEMONS line in rc.conf, without @
Then I installed gnome-volume-manager and set it up. That picked up my ipod just fine, without any udev rule written by me.

Re: How do you get hal working?
What specifically isn't working? Do you mean that if you do a ps ax hal isn't there, or do you mean you aren't getting a desktop icon?

Re: How do you get hal working?
hal is not starting at boot .... I will remove @ from dbus & hal in rc.conf
No banshee is not picking up ipod ...
I do not run gnome only Openbox so I have no need for desktop icons ...
If I can get ipod mounted without pmount/fstab/udev would be something
gtkpod picks it up :?

Re: How do you get hal working?
dbus needs to be started before hal. Actually, the hal deamon starts dbus, so you can start hal in the background when you remove dbus from your array.
