Help in debugging a crashing hald on startup

[Andy Jones]

Hi Dan,

No the prolem wasn't dbus that was not running (if it wasn't you'd get a 
socket error much earlier on).

The problem is in SVN but it seem the developers are not interested in 
bug reports.

I reverted to non-svn (i.e. 0.5.9.1) hal and it work fine again.

Thanks for taking the time to reply anyhow.

Is dbus running? It seems that dbus_bus_get_unix_user is failing. I
don't know if this is the root of your problems, but it seems like HAL
won't operate correctly without this.
