Re: hal-device-manager

obviously someone's put it's depends on GNOME and not the correct package.

You can try forcing an install without checking deps -- its in the man page somewhere

Re: hal-device-manager

yeah i did try a force install..but python kept giving me a  modules required error...first it was pygtk, and then it was gnomeui or something...could someone please tell me among those packages which ones are an absolute must to get hal-device-manager (and finally ivman) working?

thanks.

Re: hal-device-manager

To start dbus and hal, just type:

/etc/rc.d/dbus start
/etc/rc.d/hal start

as root or/and add them to rc.conf MODULES section to start 'em on boot.

Re: hal-device-manager

hal still doesnt start properly

ps -A | grep hal

doesnt turn up anything...

/etc/rc.d/ivman start gives this:

/etc/rc.d/ivman start
:: Starting ivman Device Manager                                                                             [BUSY] libhal.c 644 : Error connecting to system bus: No reply within specified time

** (process:18052): WARNING **: manager.c/656: Failed to initialize HAL!
                                                                                                  [DONE]

is this right? what ami missing here..?

Re: hal-device-manager

You must run dbus first in order to start hal. Did you do that? If yes, is your system up-to-date? Don't you get any errors while starting dbus/hal?

Re: hal-device-manager

as long as dbus then hal are started before ivman, those errors are normal. I assume you've already renamed your config files without the .default in /etc/ivman. Edit your config files in your home/user_name/.ivman folder. You probably want to change the value inside configbase to 'true' and uncomment the three blocks in actions. If its any help I added hal, dbus, and ivman to DAEMONS( ) in rc.conf . To run as normal user I created a command (ivman) to be executed during start-up in my /home/user_name/.kde/Autostart folder.
