--- Comment #46 from Danny Kukawka
Ludwig, very many thanks for the analysis and the solution!
I like to state here very clearly that it was and is only Ludwig who always informed me and helped me to get this HAL mess somehow working for the current Suse Linux and openSUSE product.
Again the HAL mess changed in an incompatible way so that the fdi files need to be changed too in a non-backward compatible way. [...] The root cause of all this incredible HAL mess is of course only the totally broken way how HAL is developed (i.e. continuous incompatible changes all the time) but nevertheless as all the time in the past I accept this bug report and try again to work around the HAL mess.
Please don't spread FUD. As Ludwig already pointed out in comment #41, the problems are caused by changes in the linux kernel and the device hierarchy in the sysfs. There was nothing changed in the HAL usb related code since a long time. There are no "continuous incompatible changes all the time" in HAL. HAL and the SPEC is very stable and changes as e.g. from info.bus to info.subsystem where announced/known at least 6 months before the old keys where removed from HAL completely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
