-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 I have repaired HAL-related problems before by completely purging and reinstalling the hal and hal-trinity packages and their configuration files (literally, via "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all hal-trinity libhal-storage1 libhal1" followed by "sudo apt-get -f install"). You might want to give this a try, as HAL tends to have rather severe problems after a dist-upgrade in my experience. This embarrassing situation was a strong motivator for the complete removal of HAL in R14. ;-) Tim
