useradd -g haldaemon -u 109 -s /bin/false -c 'User for haldaemon' -d /var/run/hald haldaemon
...and a change of runlevel for haldaemon fixed all that. Even got sysinfo back, though that also takes a little bit of a frob to get it to work.
What do you mean by "a change of runlevel for haldaemon"? How do you change the runlevel for haldaemon? Another question: do you have acpid running? Is it necessary for hald to run properly? Gianluca
Don't know if the above fixes your problem but it worked for me. I suspect that something like this will crop up in openSUSE 13.1... oh well!
