LOL You must be new to Linux. You didn't need to reboot. If you want |
27 |
to stop say, hald, just do a /etc/init.d/hald stop. That would stop the |
28 |
service, 99% of the time anyway. If you don't want it to start up |
29 |
anymore then you can remove it with rc-update to make it survive a |
30 |
reboot in its stopped state. |

This is my thoughts and if anyone has a better one please post away. I |
33 |
think there is a disagreement between hald and the programs you are |
34 |
trying to use. One or more may need to be recompiled to make them all |
35 |
happy again. I ran into a problem like this recently with cups. Try |
36 |
running the following and post what it says: "emerge -pv sound-juicer |
37 |
hal totem k3b" Leave off the quotes there. Also note, that is not |
38 |
going to actually do anything but list the packages it would install and |
39 |
the USE flags they are compiled with. It's not going to reinstall them |
40 |
or anything. Shouldn't take to long depending on your rigs speed. |
41 |

Maybe with that we can see if it is doing something different or missing |
43 |
something that is causing this. |

P.S. I sent this before but it came back as a boo boo message. Sorry |

if it is a dup. |
