• Bug#267043: laptop-mode-tools: My ACPI does not generate ac_adapter eve

    Package: laptop-mode-tools
    Version: 0.99-2
    Severity: important

    Hello,

    I wandered why laptop-mode-tools was not working. In fact my ACPI may be
    buggy since it does not generate (at least acpid does not see them)
    ac_adapter events when I plug or unplug my AC power cable.

    All acpid sees is:
    [Fri Aug 20 13:08:05 2004] received event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001"
    [Fri Aug 20 13:08:05 2004] executing action "/etc/acpi/actions/lm_battery.sh battery BAT1 00000080 00000001"
    [Fri Aug 20 13:08:05 2004] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES
    [Fri Aug 20 13:08:05 2004] END HANDLER MESSAGES
    [Fri Aug 20 13:08:05 2004] action exited with status 0
    [Fri Aug 20 13:08:05 2004] completed event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001"

    I propose this patch but it may not be the correct solution:
    --- lm_battery.sh 2004-08-18 20:30:16.000000000 +0200
    +++ lm_battery.sh 2004-08-20 13:14:20.000000000 +0200
    @@ -2,6 +2,10 @@

    test -f /usr/sbin/laptop_mode || exit 0

    +# Call /etc/acpi/actions/lm_ac_adapter.sh since no ACPI event is
    +# generated for this one
    +/etc/acpi/actions/lm_ac_adapter.sh $@
    +
    # Automatically disable laptop mode when the battery almost runs out.

    BATT_INFO=/proc/acpi/battery/$2/state


    The batteryi.* event is supposed to occur when the battery is low?
    And the ac_adapter when the power cord is plugged/unplugged?

    Maybe I should try to debug my ACPI bios. But it will not solve the
    problem for other users of Acer TravelMate 430 laptops.

    Bye,

    Hmmm. This is definitely a hardware problem. I'll see what I can do to
    make this work.
