Just successfully compiled this package on my laptop, and installed successfully. When I went to start the program manually I recieved this on stderr: Is Hal running? Failed with error: HALD_NOT_RUNNING Will try again to connect to HAL in 30 seconds. I removed HAL to un-complicate my system with xorg 1.9 and don't want to add it back without a dependency to a package I use. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -av guidance-power-manager 2.restart KDE session 3.
Unfortunately upstream seems to have no exit strategy, which makes guidance-power-manager a candidate for lastriting.
Masked for removal in 30 days.
