Dear openSUSE enthusiasts,

I'm still on 11.2 on "real HW" and on 11.4 on virtual environment (through VirtualBox).

Last "zypper dup" synced the guest machine to "11.4 Celadon", afterwards I noticed a SMOLT activation request which I decided to enable, but this has stopped immediately since HAL was not activated nor present on the fresh update as "zypper info hal" confirmed.

So my questions are:

1) is HAL still officially present into 11.4?

Yes, smolt is just missing a dependecy on hal, known bug, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675403

I understand it means that I shall just ignore smolt error until its new version (udev compliant) will be available. Thanks Guido. Regards, -- opensuse 11.2 - Linux 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 2.30.2

also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615632 but hal is said to die slowly, so is making a dependecy to hal a solution? can somebody verify is the kde version shipped with 11.4 still needs hal? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pig... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

kde 4.6.0 on 11.4 doesn't need hal So we just have to wait a fix for smolt with the upstream released package

Me certainly :-)

I've drop hal months ago, and track it each time it's reinstalled by "bad" software. So I loose imagewriter & smolt functionnality, but this is not related to kde :-)

I was refering to smolt and kde smolt under kde requires it, as for anything else I don't know. -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44(0)1204 410474 Mob: +44(0)7868 028028 www.bolin.org.uk Distributing openSUSE in the UK Registered Linux User: 529825 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
