hal-device-manager crash

[Thomas Gufler]

Hi,

I'm using hal-cvs together with dbus-cvs, udev-030 and linux 2.6.7 (gentoo). 
Since about three weeks I cannot start hal-device-manager. When this problem 
occurred first the hald also died, but now only the h-d-m crashs. When I try 
to start h-d-m I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hal-device-manager", line 15, in ?
    DeviceManager()
  File "/usr/share/hal/device-manager/DeviceManager.py", line 53, in __init__
    "/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus.py", line 83, in 
add_signal_receiver
    match_rule = self._get_match_rule(signal_name, interface, service, path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus.py", line 112, in 
_get_match_rule
    service = bus_object.GetServiceOwner(service)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus.py", line 208, in __call__
    reply_message = self._connection.send_with_reply_and_block(message, 5000)
  File "dbus_bindings.pyx", line 556, in 
dbus_bindings.Connection.send_with_reply_and_block
dbus_bindings.DBusException: Could not get owner of service 
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager': no such service

There is already a thread in the gentoo forum 
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=199376&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=halcvs) 
but no solution.  

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Thomas Gufler
