I have a problem with kpowersave and ACPI on my T60p. kpowersave complains
about missing ACPI support, battery status is not shown (it's always on AC,
even when AC is disconnected).
I can retrieve the battery status with acpi:
$ acpi -b
Battery 0: Discharging, 98%, 02:16:03 remaining
Has anybody a clue what I am missing?
It's running wheezy and TDE 3.5.13. acpid is running, thinkpad relevant
modules are loaded, hal-trinity is installed, too.

kpowersave doesn't use acpid, but HAL. Check if your user have permissions to
query hal, via dbus.

I can query hal, but how do I query hal via dbus?

Ok, found a way. Looks like my user has access to hal via dbus:
$ python
Python 2.7.3rc2 (default, Mar 21 2012, 16:14:45)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license"
for more information.

So ... what to do next? I installed xfce4-power-manager as a workaround (which
actually works), but that's not quite what I was looking for :-)

Hi,
I do not have a trinity install here, but I remember solving this
problem by replacing kpowersave with another trinity power management
package.
I don't remember its name but something like "aptitude search power|grep
trinity" should put you on the way...
Regards
Denis

It's running wheezy and TDE 3.5.13. acpid is running, thinkpad relevant
modules are loaded, hal-trinity is installed, too.
