I emerged gnome-volumn-manager and hal-device-manager. when I try to run hal-device-manager, it report: ** ERROR **: file pyorbit-utils.c: line 40 (_pyorbit_escape_name): assertion failed: (kwdict != NULL) aborting... Aborted My desktop use: dev-python/pygtk-2.4.1 dev-python/pyrex-0.9.3-r1 sys-apps/dbus-0.23-r3 sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5 sys-apps/hal-0.4.5-r2 gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager-1.0.2-r1 gnome-extra/hal-device-manager-0.2.98 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This bug make hal-device-manager not start up at all, so I think the severity should not be set to minor. I traced into the script of hal-device-manager, the problem is caused by 'import gnome.ui' in DeviceManager. This cause python interpreter abort with the assertion.

We decide what the severity is to us, h-d-m is a dev tool so not of much consequence. Your problem is not with hdm anyway i bet, but with python modules & maybe you not (re)compiling them right.
it works with version of gnome-python-2.6.1 and pyorbit-2.0.1 both are ~x86 masked.
reporter: do you still have these problems? the versions you mention are stable now.
it works fine with these versions :)
