Synopsis
hal bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated hal packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The hal packages provide a daemon for collecting and maintaining
information from several sources about system hardware.
These updated packages fix the following bugs:
- on IBM System z architectures, the HAL daemon assigned CCW devices a
"ccw.availablity" property. This spelling mistake has been corrected, and
the correct property, "ccw.availability", is now assigned.
- in the previous hal packages, certain Egenera hardware components, such
as the CD-ROM drive and SAN storage devices, were not detected. In these
updated packages, these devices are detected.
- it was not possible to correctly suspend and resume on certain systems
that used NVIDIA cards and chipsets.
- bugs which caused problems for suspend and resume operations on Lenovo
T61 and X61 series notebooks have been resolved.
- running the "lshal" command caused the following error:
Applications must not close shared connections - see
dbus_connection_close() docs.
This error is harmless, and as such, no longer occurs in these updated
packages.
- in the previous hal packages, haldaemon failed to start if the
"haldaemon" user did not exist. In these updated packages, it is now
possible to avoid dropping privileges by using the "--retain-privileges"
option, even when the "haldaemon" user does not exist, which resolves this
issue.
Users of hal are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
