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.

Same problem with me guys ...

same problem for me since 1 week...

wolverine ~ # /etc/init.d/hald start

* Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon ... [ !! ]

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

then I do that:

#emerge -C dbus hal
#rm -rf /etc/dbus-1
#rm -rf /etc/hal

#emerge dbus hal

Please ensure that you have netlink support enabled in the kernel.

Comment 10 Marcel Martin 2005-11-26 15:10:43 UTC

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.

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.
