[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#545864: hald need 30 seconds to start

Wed Sep 9 16:49:43 UTC 2009

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

The hald daemon is very long to start on debian lenny: around 30s !
I try to debug it. This is what i get :
# cat /etc/default/hal
DAEMON_OPTS="--verbose=yes --use-syslog"

Here the first and last lines of /var/log/syslog :
Sep  9 18:17:56 pcz4002 hald[3703]: 18:17:56.650 [I] hald.c:669: hal 0.5.11

If i :
# /etc/init.d/hal restart
The restart took around 2 seconds.

# grep hald /var/log/syslog  | grep '\[E\]'

I can make more tests and give more logs.

Thank you.
