FWIW, this would have been a perfect question for the gentoo-desktop=20 list, but doesn't really belong on the -dev list. There's also the=20 gentoo-user list, altho that one has very heavy volume so you might not=20 wish to subscribe there. I know you didn't know where to post, so this=20 is simply for future reference. Try to keep the -dev list for technical=20 dev discussion, as every post the devs have to deal with here is time=20 they can't be spending on fixing packages. =3D:^( > I was forced to switch baselayout from stable 1.12.11* to 2.0.0, which > triggered openrc install etc. I did all that etc , then after some time > I noticed that system doesn't respond to PnP events. >=20 > So I started looking around and have noticed that I have no > /etc/init.d/hald and that hal daemon never gets called during boot. > Then I tried to find alternate hald starting mechanism, but couldn't > find any.

What version? The above hal-0.5.11-r4=20 is the ~arch version, but -r1 appears to be the latest stable (except for= =20 arm and sh, on which 0.5.9.1-r3 is latest stable) and at least my=20 archived binpkg -r1 has /etc/init.d/hald as well. Even my oldest=20 archived hal-0.5.10 binpkg has that file. So if it's not being created=20 when you remerge hal and you aren't running something terribly outdated,=20 I'd say it's time to look up hal bugs, and to file one if necessary. (As above, please post anything further on the topic to the desktop list,= =20 which I read as well, to keep the dev list from getting too cluttered. =20 Thanks.) --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
