I get a lot of boot messages of the form: udevd[1465]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory The standard fix from https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/01/msg00857.html is Remove the hal package and you should be fine. HOWEVER: apt-get remove hal gives: The following packages will be REMOVED: hal hal-trinity kdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity kdebase-trinity ksmserver-trinity And I think ksmserver-trinity is required ( I use xinit /opt/trinity/bin/startkde to start Trinity ) So does Trinity actually use HAL, or can I just get rid of it? cheers ant -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 7, desktop trinity-KDE.
