Description of problem:

hald does not start up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

every time


Steps to Reproduce:

2. so to reproduce.. all I have to do is reboot...
3. and watch hald not start...
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

I did an strace of hald it and it looks like its core
dumping or seg faulting when it tries to read or
write to the system message bus pipe. /var/run/dbug/system_bus_socket.

I'll be glad to run any tests on my system you like.

Comment 1 David Zeuthen 2004-11-22 16:24:11 UTC

Hi, 

I've seen bugs like this earlier; my suspicion is that prelink makes
the libdbus libraries not work. Please try this as root

 tar cfv /root/old-dbus-so.tar /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*
 sudo /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*

and see if that works?

Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2004-11-22 16:28:29 UTC

Whoops, drop the sudo before prelink; sorry my bad. Should be this

 tar cfv /root/old-dbus-so.tar /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*
 sudo /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*

Comment 3 David Zeuthen 2004-11-22 16:29:34 UTC

this is the commands to issue as root (I need some coffee :-)):

 tar cfv /root/old-dbus-so.tar /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*
 /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*

Thanks,
David

Comment 4 Stephen Adler 2004-11-22 16:47:48 UTC

dude! good job.. fixed the problem.. now how come I had to
re-prelink the library files? how did I screw them up? any
ideas?

Comment 5 David Zeuthen 2004-11-22 16:54:00 UTC

This looks to me like a prelink bug - reassigning.
