At least the Gnome FAQ lists it as a requirement (so it must be installed additionally, and enabled in rc.conf). But X does not require it, or have it built into the default package. I've been running desktop systems without HAL and DBus for years, without any problems. > Nowadays i don't care much about it since i don't have a laptop, Personally, I find it much more convenient to press the power button to have the system perform a proper shutdown, or assign a key combination for a typical shutdown command (for example. on my Sun keyboard: Ctrl+Alt+Moon). All this works without having to deal with XML files buried inside the /usr/local subtree. :-) > do have > an arduino You probably don't use it as a desktop computer, but you could use it to "press" the power buttin. :-) > and will get a 3d-printer tomorrow (2016-12-29) Use it to 3D-print yourself a HAL-9000. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
