Following routine updates on a few Debian testing systems yesterday
I noticed that two of the three laptops started showing an Xfce
Power Manager popup message only upon the first login following each
reboot.
Xfce power manager
HAL daemon is not running
I have seen that too, but so far only on my Sid box. The other boxes
running XFCE4 are running Squeeze. In fact, until the latest update I
had to restart the panel manually from a terminal.
The power manager applet itself is working fine, and the HAL daemon
is, indeed, running. I'm guessing this is just a starting order
issue, but I think it's kind of odd.
I wasn't certain whether I should give this a few days to see if it
gets rectified / file a bug report / wade right in and correct the
problem manually.
Bug #612611 has been filed against xfce4-power-manager,
xfce4-power-manager: Does not work with DBus activated HAL
Message 15 in that report has a workaround:
