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?

With dbus-send, but I can't tell you exactly how to query it, I'm not familiar with hal api.

Ok, found a way. Looks like my user has access to hal via dbus:

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
