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
Offline
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.
Offline
you don't need hal-device-manager. this is a gnome app. you need hal
Offline
thanks for the replies...
when i run
$ hald
shouldnt
$ ps -A | grep hald
report that 'hald' is running ? cause it doesnt ...
is dbus-launch the exectuable i need to launch dbus?
also could anyone please post an easy ivman config to just get my dvdrom working (/dev/cdroms/cdrom0) ..i tried reading the man pages/wiki and it just went above my head, probably cause i dont understand xml..thanks very much!

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.

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..?
Offline
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?
Offline
yeah it is pretty up to date...arch 0.7...i do a pacman -Su every week or so
no errors for dbus/hal...only while starting ivman,,
Offline
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.

i had to reinstall cause i messed up some permissions, and things seem to be working fine now...a blessing in disguise...
