please attach the output of hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no, I will probably be more helpful.

Hi Gilles

It is true

# hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no

Start D-Bus first and the run command to GDB has to be run as:

run --verbose=yes --daemon=no

Well, this is the file hal-segfault-bt.log.

[Comment 6 Albert Gall 2009-05-19 15:32:08 UTC]

Permissions on the file /usr/share/misc/pci.ids are not correct

Access: (0600/-rw-------)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

I changed this to

Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

And now everything works fine.

[Comment 7 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-05-19 16:15:30 UTC]

not actually a hal problem as you guessed

[Comment 8 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-05-19 16:15:45 UTC]

closing invalid because it looks like a local problem.
