[gentoo-user] HAL crashes after connecting removable media

[Sebastian Beßler]

Hello,

I don't now since when exactly as I don't use removable media so often,
but now my HAL-daemon crashes after connecting a removable media.

I looked into nearly all files in /var/log but no info about hald can be
found.

The crashes only happen when insert a usb-drive or a media in my dvd-drive.

I use kde 3.5.10

Greetings

do you  have the latest HAL version? 

Mine is 0.5.12_rc1-r8 with KDE4 and recently it was
acting peculilar until the upgrade to 0.5.12_rc1-r8.


Not suggesting that's your problem, just sharing a little
bit of my HAL pain with you as I suspect HAL/DBUS might
be your issue.



hth,

I had the latest HAL version sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2
I run ~amd64

I downgraded to 0.5.12_rc1-r8 and now everything seems stable again.
To downgrade I had to add dev-libs/libvolume_id-0.81.1 ** to
package.keyword and install it because hal didn't emerge without it.
It seems to be a dependancy but it isn't pulled in by portage.
