If anybody ever gets this problem, just make sure /usr/libexec is in your path
I'm working on updating a diskless lab setup (That means a read-only root filesystem, and sometimes a little jiggery-pokery to get packages set up properly.) , and hal seems to be completely out of commission. For starters, here's what I get when I run it:
| Code: |
# hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
10:27:21.390 [I] hald.c:533: hal 0.5.9
10:27:21.390 [I] hald.c:598: Will not daemonize
10:27:21.391 [I] hald_dbus.c:4807: local server is listening at unix:abstract=/var/run/hald/dbus-13jRQ9fBws,guid=6443d811bcfe23b88914a80046cc32b1
10:27:21.393 [E] hald_runner.c:292: Could not spawn runner : 'Failed to execute child process "hald-runner" (No such file or directory)'
|
hald-runner exists at /usr/libexec/hald-runner
I've tried running strace, but it doesn't make much sense to me. There are two threads created, the first one seems to be going along its merry way until it forks off the second one which spits out about a thousand lines of:
| Code: |
.
.
.
fcntl64(31, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
fcntl64(32, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
fcntl64(33, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
fcntl64(34, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
fcntl64(35, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
.
.
.
|
And then finishes off with:
| Code: |
.
.
.
fcntl64(1021, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
fcntl64(1022, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
fcntl64(1023, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

After the second one returns, the first one prints the last error about hald_runner.c and then bails.
Here's my emerge --info if it helps:

just to give this an update, and a little bump.
I have tried both re-installing hal and downgrading to version 0.5.7.1. There is no change in behavior.
