One thing that has been happening for some time now with the devicekit-power ebuilds : function check_battery checks for ACPI_SYSFS_POWER which isn´t available for systems without acpi ( like my ppc powerbook f.ex.). I don´t know what would be the best workaround, maybe checking for CONFIG_APM or CONFIG_APM_EMULATION too ? thanks ! Reproducible: Always
I don't even remember if I asked you the simple question. Does dk-p actually works on your ppc system ?
please get back to us
sorry for the delayed answer. looking to the mailexchange i see you are right and i didn´t make this clear : nope, devkit-power doesn´t work here. It detects the initial state of things but that´s it, no new events are registered here, or at least --monitor doesn´t show anything. I thought that maybe there is some extra support in devkit-power for events triggered by PMU or APM ( and therefore the ebuild should check for it) but i have no clue actually. Searching a bit doesn´t even make clear this is supported by upstream. If you want me to do some testing let me know, but it will take some time, i have very limited access to this lappy. thanks !
Ok, read a bit of code, it seems dk-power is reading through /sys/class/power_supply/ so if non-acpi systems still expose something via /sys, it should work out of the box. Could you list what you have under /sys/class/power_supply ?
sorry again for the delayed answer : this is what i have in /sys/class/power_supply/ : drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 ene 12 13:50 . drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 0 ene 12 13:50 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 ene 12 13:50 pmu-ac -> ../../devices/platform/pmu-battery.0/power_supply/pmu-ac lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 ene 12 13:50 PMU_battery_0 -> ../../devices/platform/pmu-battery.0/power_supply/PMU_battery_0 let me know if you need anything else. Gnome isn´t installed anymore i this lappy but i would install a few bits in case you want me to test some stuff. thanks !
no arch actually wants to test this and upower got keyworded anyway. Closing.
