[opensuse] When is HAL going away?
Is there anything left that depends on it now? For 11.4 that is? will it be gone in 12.0? -- Some day, on the corporate balance sheet, there will be an entry which reads, "Information"; for in most cases the information is more valuable than the hardware which processes it. - Adm.

The next version will be 12.1 and hal is already dropped from Factory (the development tree). Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you. Can I delete it from my 11.4? And Marcus, please DO NOT reply to BOTH me and the list; I don't need TWO copies of your reply :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, you can try. "zypper rm hal" and you will see what other packages will get deinstalled. It probably has some dependencies you want to keep. It does not hurt leaving it on the system on the other hand.

It is a reflex to always do group reply. removed from this one. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I get: The following packages are going to be REMOVED: hal ivman libthunar-vfs-1-2 libvlccore2 thunar-vfs thunar-vfs-lang xfce4-panel-plugin-cddrive xfce4-panel-plugin-places Now I don't mid loosing the xfce stuff but I'm curious about IVMAN. I seem to recall having to install that so I can access plugin devices like USB memory/disk and PC cards. But then again I see hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every 2 sec) and udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 However its the items like hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event9 /dev/input/event5 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event7 /dev/input/event6 /dev/input/event3 /dev/input/event0 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-leds hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket That worry me. These don't seem to be covered by udisks or udevd -- He who stops being better stops being good. - Oliver Cromwell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
