[Bug 507097] Re: [Lucid Xubuntu] power manager fails to start because HAL daemon is not running

[Martin Pitt]

hal is run through D-Bus activation now, instead of an init/upstart
script. This is because booting/X/GNOME does not need hal any more these
days.

If an app wants to connect to hal, it should get auto-spawned. This
works fine for gnome-power-manager and pitivi at least. So perhaps x-p-m
does something more cautious, like testing if hal is running before
connecting to it (this doesn't work -- it just needs to go ahead
connecting).

Does someone have a debug output of x-p-m? How is that done?
