Subject: hal: segfaults after a USB drive is connected.

Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2007 19:25:39 +1000

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.9.1-4
Severity: normal

When I added a USB drive to the system, Hald segfaulted (see the kernel logs
exerpted below). Since I don't access USB drives under X or Gnome, this bug
has no real impact on me; I am simply reporting it as a service to the
community.

Maybe a broken partition table or file system on the usb drive.
Could you examine the partition table (e.g. with cfdisk) and if
necessary repartition/reformat the drive?

Cheers,
Michael

As a service to the community: Could you check if this still happens with
recent versions of the hal package? Also if it does please run with
hal --daemon=no --verbose=yes and mail the output of that.

I will have an opportunity to do this in the next week or two when I set aside
time to make another backup.

At that point I'll send you the results, and I will also follow the earlier
suggestion and check the partition table of the drive.

With hal 0.5.10-4, if I connect the drive to a USB port, hald does not
segfault anymore.

Let's close the bug for now. If it happens again I'll let you know.

Jason.
