A clean installation of openSUSE 11.2 M8 is unusable possibly due
to a problem with HAL.

When the system starts the X Window System, it seems continue
loading normally the components of gnome while my mouse and
keyboard are not working. Nevertheless, I can shut down the
computer using Alt-SysRq-O.

I'm getting the following error in ~/.xsession-errors

   Could not initialise connection to hald.
   Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.

and in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/gdm/:0.log.4 these infos:
   (II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
   (II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
   (II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
        If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.
and one error:
   (EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null)

In /var/log/messages I get:
   gnome-keyring-daemon[1823]: GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor: invoking IsSupported() failed for remote
   volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.GduVolumeMonitor: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled:
   Process /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor received signal 11

and
   pulseaudio[2424]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_intel8x0'.
   Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
   pulseaudio[2424]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent
   snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail
but I think that this is due to the problem with HAL, because if I blacklist snd_intel8x0
(using openSUSE 11.2 M8 GNOME live CD), the problem continue:

   cat /mnt/plinux/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local 
   blacklist snd_intel8x0

PS. In the openSUSE 11.2 M8 GNOME live CD this problem does not occur.

Comment 4 Forgotten User DBWoND-zrO 2009-10-03 01:42:35 UTC

According to http://en.opensuse.org/HAL#Debugging.2FBugreporting
I used the openSUSE 11.2 M8 GNOME live CD to edit /etc/init.d/haldaemon
and change
   HALDAEMON_PARA="--daemon=yes";
to
   HALDAEMON_PARA="--daemon=yes --verbose=yes --use-syslog";

Then, I started the system (openSUSE 11.2 M8 GNOME), the problem occur
again and I need to shut down the computer using Alt-SysRq-o. After,
I used live cd to get /var/log/messages

This bug can be a duplicate of bug 537452, I think.

Thanks.

I reinstall openSUSE 11.2 M8 GNOME. In this occasion, I add the
repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_Factory/
during the installation and install HAL from that.

Now HAL seems to run OK.

Thanks.
