[Bug 62736] Volume Manager unresponsive in Gnome and command line

[greymaiden]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

GUI Side:

System >> Preferences >> Removable Drives and Media

I receive the following error: The "hald" service is required but not
currently running. Enable the service and rerun this application, or
contact your system administrator.

Note: You need Linux kernel 2.6 for volume management to work.

I might be going about this the wrong way.  I'm relatively new to Gnome.
I have the latest kernel installed, as well as all the dependencies for
hal, hal-device-manager, and gnome-volume-manager.  I've scoured the
forums and there seem to be quite a few people out there having problems
with hal/g-v-m; none of them are exactly the same as mine, but it
wouldn't suprise me if the same bug was responsible.

One other note about those forum posts: they aren't getting a lot of
action.  Nobody seems to have any clue what's going on with hal and his
package pals.
