*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 109082 ***
Reopening, since this bug is actually different from the problem originally described in 109082, and a new bug was requested there.
Would you mind re-emerging dbus .50 (should be -r1 or above), and then stopping dbus, re-emerge it yet again, and then emerge hal after that - then attempt to start, and give output? Also, is this SELinux or any other special file permissions or so forth?

What you request is the exact procedure I run to install dbus and hal: 1. emerge -C dbus hal 2. rm -rf /etc/hal/ 3. rm -rf /etc/dbus-1/ 4. emerge -av dbus hal The problem persists. equery l dbus: * installed packages [I--] [ ] sys-apps/dbus-0.50-r1 (0) equery l hal: * installed packages [I--] [ ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.4 (0) > Also, is this SELinux or any other special file permissions or so forth? No SELinux. What kind of 'other special file permissions' do you think at? I'm a desktop user... Where I can find the correct file permissions to set in my box? I have this system since 2004 and I mantain it every day. Last thing: famd does not start, as stated by Gnome Upgrade Guide from Gentoo documentation.

I had the same problem and after digging in hal and kernel sources for a while I finally found the solution: You need to enable "General Setup -> Kernel Userspace Events" in your kernel configuration. Just for those interested I can briefly describe what I did and found in more detail. The relevant line of the strace (as posted above) is: bind(7, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=13364, groups=ffffffff}, 12) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The error code that bind() returns depends on the protocol family used (AF_NETLINK in this case). In the kernel sources in /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2/net/netlink/af_netlink.c I found that the function netlink_bind() gets eventually called when bind() is used with the AF_NETLINK protocol. netlink_bind() in turn returns ENOENT when this check fails: if (!nl_table[sk->sk_protocol].registered) err = -ENOENT; sk->sk_protocol is provided by hal with a value of NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT. Searching a bit further it became clear that this protocol is only "registered" when kobject_uevent.o is compiled into the kernel.
(In reply to comment #10) > You need to enable "General Setup -> Kernel > Userspace Events" in your kernel configuration. Worked like a charm for me, also on gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r3. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for taking the time to diagnose the issue. Added a fix for this in portage, the latest version should now fail to build if you do not have Userspace Events unset.
