Description Fabian Zeindl 2005-10-16 03:38:09 UTC

Hi, this bug is basically the same as #107211, I just put the wrong version
number in the other bug, I was always using 0.5.4 never 0.5.2.

I've hal, version 0.5.4 and it runs nice with one
exception: It runs with the user "haldaemon" and cannot load modules like
hal-addon-acpi therefore. When I start hald with "--retain-privileges" to run as
root it works perfectly. This prevents me from using hal with the whole acpi stuff.

With hal-addon-acpi hal detects plugging in and out AC adapters instantly,
without this addon it polls about every 30 seconds -> annoying.

greetings
