Description Adam Caldwell 2005-04-17 10:55:17 UTC
I get a 100% consistent crash trying to access the about screen in hal-device-manager-0.2.98. I checked the freedesktop.org bugzilla and didnt find any bugs like this, so it may be gentoo specific. Here's the output from Bug Buddy (not sure how useful it is):

Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/hal-device-manager'

Runnning gnome 2.8.2

h-d-m is a developers tool and as such can't be regarded stable.

Anyway, recent versions of hal have this fixed already.
