Description isadora 2011-11-26 03:53:57 CET
First update through MCC resulted in error-message:
"A fatal error occurred: HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready."

After unchecking CD-ROM as update-repository, problem solved.

Hello, thanks for the bug report.

What release have you installed ? livecd kde, gnome, dvd ?
If it's an dvd, please attach the file /root/drakx/report.bug.gz

On which desktop have you see this fatal error ?
Can you reproduce ?

Comment 3 Juergen Harms 2011-11-26 21:19:17 CET
The same problem has been observed by several other users installing the iso dvd that became available this morning.

My proper replies to the questions to isodora:
- from an iso dvd, kde install
- I did not run urpmi from a desktop, but from a login console
- attaching report.bug.gz from my system (attachment 1121 [details]) - maybe yet another one helps

Plus a comment made in the (duplicate) bugzilla 3473 report: hald is not only not running, but hal has not been installed

Installed Mageia 2 alpha1 32bit DVD.iso
Using KDE-desktop-environment.
Could reproduce when enabling CD-ROM as update-repository through MCC

Attached report.bug.gz
Comment 7 Doug Laidlaw 2011-11-30 12:13:31 CET
I got this with a DVD install.  The CDROM was not marked as an update.  When I removed the CDROM totally, rpmdrake "hung."  I got around it by copying the HAL RPM and its dependencies to my home directory and running "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" from there.

Same issue after installation of Mageia 2/ Alpha 2.
Comment 9 Kamil Rytarowski 2011-12-17 03:39:37 CET
Reproduced with Mga2 Alpha2 x86_64 minimal installation.

Can't install software with urpmi, because of "hald isn't running or ready"

Comment 13 Dušan Pavlík 2012-01-14 12:00:21 CET
Same problem on Alpha 3. I´m testing Alpha 3 on virtualbox.

If is dvd added as source for rpms. Urpmi sending this 


"A fatal error occurred: HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready."


I mean problem is with automatic mount in urpmi. For solution this problem you must change dependencies from hal to <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/udisks">udev(udisks)</a>.

I seconded comment 14
Comment 17 Brett Ginsburg 2012-01-25 19:21:31 CET
In a response to a post of mine on the forum, a member suggests that this bug can be resolved by removing the DVD from the media manager.  But I am pretty sure I did this and it did not resolve the problem.

I have since reinstalled Mageia1 on the system, so I can't test this.  Can anyone else try and report back?
