From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: If you turn off messagebus in system-config-services, it fails to recognise that hal wont work without it. Also fails to note that hal wont work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.4.0-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. turn off messagebus 2. try to start hald --verbose=yes 3. Actual Results: hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 08:51:33.209 [I] hald.c:394: hal 0.4.0 08:51:33.211 [I] hald.c:398: Will not daemonize 08:51:33.213 [E] hald_dbus.c:1934: dbus_bus_get(): Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused Expected Results: Alot of hald output. Additional info:
The messagebus service is in fact started before the haldaemon service so surely this is not a bug during normal use. In a future release hald will be more verbose when it cannot connect to the messagebus.
