hal-0.5.10-3.fc8 won't run SOLVED!!!

[marc41]

Had the same problem here, on a Toshiba laptop.

First, I tried upgrading hal to the release found in the 'testing' repos.  That did not help.

Then I went to http://mirror.nuvio.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/ [1]
and downloaded the rpm files:

hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm
hal-0.5.10-3.fc8.i386.rpm
hal-libs-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm

and installed them using:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage hal*

no joy...

Back to the repo, downloaded the files:

avahi-0.6.21-6.fc8.i386.rpm
dbus-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm
dbus-libs-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm
dbus-x11-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm

and installed with rpm

STILL no joy  :-(

One more time to the repo and grabbed:

hal-info-20071030-1.fc8.noarch.rpm

Installed with rpm and IT WORKED!!!!!

Now, I have NOT tried updating avahi and dbus to the current version, nor tried updating hal itself but leaving the old info files in place.  I'm satisfied to leave the system as-is until hal is fixed.

YOU might want to try updating the hal-info FIRST, and see if that is all it needs.

"your mileage may vary"
