Description Alexander Zimmerling 2007-11-11 16:06:24 UTC

I followed the guide. Codesnipped listed under 2.6 is wrong and returns an error. Code should be:

tail -f /var/log/messages | grep "received event"

instead of:

tail -f /var/log/acpid | grep "received event"


I found an entry in one of the logfiles:

/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log:As of version 1.0.6, acpid uses system log facility instead of custom log
/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log:file. This means acpid messages will be usually located in 
/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log:/var/log/messages (and not in /var/log/acpid) for common setups.

The guide needs to be updated!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Code Listing 2.6 (Determining ACPI events for changing the power source) is wrong
