Hey guys, I posted this question on the Gentoo forums but it hasnt gotten much attention there. I really need to get this problem solved so that I can use my computer. Discs wont automount in gnome without hald. Network manager wont start without hald, and so on and on.. I really need to get this fixed.
The problem is that hald wont start. If I do an "/etc/init.d/hald start" all I get is a little red symbol on the right side of the screen.... This is a screenshot of the problem...
Now with some help from a user at the gentoo forums he told me to start hald manually as a daemon like this "hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes" and this is the error that hald spit out...
It's saying that it failed to connect to socket? Connection refused? What does that mean? And how can I go about fixing it so that it will work?
