Once rebooted, all seemed well. Some days later, openSUSE 12.3 was released with a similar problem. I did the above but found that hald still seemed to fail until I checked the user list and found that the haldaemon user was missing this time. The command...
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.
Currently the following code is designed for this: if getent passwd haldaemon >/dev/null then : OK haldaemon user already present else /usr/sbin/useradd -r -g haldaemon -c "User for haldaemon" \ -d /var/run/hald -o haldaemon 2>/dev/null || : fi Does not it work properly? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
