(SOLVED) Hal and dbus, do I need dbus?

I read the wiki and it says if I don't use hal in my daemons then I need to add dbus.

I haven't been using hal, and I haven't added dbus either. My system seems to be working right, but I guess something could be wrong. Reading the wiki brings me here to ask if I need dbus and why?

My daemons,

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network !netfs @alsa @mpd @crond)

Re: (SOLVED) Hal and dbus, do I need dbus?

pacman -Qi shows:

 Required By    : avahi
                 compiz-core
                 gconf  liboobs
                 qt
                 system-tools-backends

I use these packages so that's why I need dbus.

Once in a while I use qtfm, whihc uses qt but I haven't had any problems with it. I have been using Ranger though.

So I can assume if I need dbus something is going to tell me? I would rather know for sure smile

Re: (SOLVED) Hal and dbus, do I need dbus?

sudo pacman -R dbus
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: avahi: requires dbus>=1.1.20-1
:: awesome: requires dbus
:: gconf: requires dbus
:: qt: requires dbus

I assume I should add it to daemons?

yes, dbus is an important piece of software.


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
