hal-device-manager crash

[Dan Williams]

Hi,

John Palmieri (J5) has a solution but hasn't posted the patch yet, it
involves editing /usr/share/hal/device-manager/DeviceManager.py and
fixing these lines as follows:

        self.bus.add_signal_receiver(self.gdl_changed,
+                                    "gdl_changed",
                                     "org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager",
                                     "org.freedesktop.Hal",
                                     "/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager")

[snip]

            self.bus.add_signal_receiver(self.device_changed,
+                                        "device_changed",
                                         "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device",
                                         "org.freedesktop.Hal",
                                         name)    


Credit goes directly to him :)
