I also tried with --verbose=yes, but the output was too huge. If needed i will put here the ouput. for now the output without verbose option is here: Runner started - allowed paths are '/usr/libexec:/usr/lib/hal/scripts:/usr/bin' (process:5022): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach_remove: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed ** (process:5022): CRITICAL **: hal_property_get_string: assertion `prop->type == HAL_PROPERTY_TYPE_STRING' failed in hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints hal_mtab = '' 11:39:40.504 [D] addon-input.c:372: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_1: Listening on /dev/input/event2 11:39:40.519 [D] addon-input.c:372: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input: Listening on /dev/input/event1 11:39:40.535 [D] addon-input.c:372: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_5a4_9759_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input: Listening on /dev/input/event8 11:39:40.551 [D] addon-input.c:372: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input: Listening on /dev/input/event6 11:39:40.563 [D] addon-input.c:372: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_2: Listening on /dev/input/event3 11:39:40.576 [D] addon-input.c:372: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_3: Listening on /dev/input/event4 woohoo Run started hald-probe-smbios (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-smbios', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-smbios exited Run started hald-addon-input (0) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-addon-input', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' Run started hald-probe-input (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-input', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' Run started hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints exited Run started hald-addon-cpufreq (0) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-addon-cpufreq', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' Run started hald-addon-acpi (0) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-addon-acpi', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-input exited Run started hald-probe-storage (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexecwoohoo woohoo /hald-probe-storage exited Run started hald-addon-storage (0) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-addon-storage', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' Run started hald-probe-storage (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage exited Run started hald-probe-volume (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume exited Run started hald-probe-storage (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage exited Run started hald-probe-volume (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume exited Run started hald-probe-volume (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume', program_dir is '/usr/libexec' /usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume exited Run started hald-probe-volume (10000) (0) !  full path is '/usr/woohoo <hr />Win Ł3000 to spend on whatever you want at Uni! <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719803/direct/01/' target='_new'>Click here to WIN!</a></body> </html>
