Description Artem S. Tashkinov 2016-08-03 09:07:21 UTC

Description of problem: I need my brightness buttons to work even when the Xorg server is not running so I wrote two handlers for brightness buttons in acpid. However when I enable acpid they still do not work, unless I run acpi_listen


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): acpid-2.0.27-1.fc24.x86_64


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl enable acpid
2. reboot
3. press power buttons

Actual results: acpid will not handle them, because it's not running


Expected results: acpid handlers doing something


Additional info: the only solution #systemd guys told me is this one:

# systemctl add-wants multi-user.target acpid.service

Thanks for report, that's probably the result of the recently added socket activation support. I asked systemd guys what's the best option how to handle it.

Comment 2 Fedora Update System 2016-08-03 15:27:33 UTC

acpid-2.0.27-4.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-f34b739a83

Comment 3 Jaroslav Škarvada 2016-08-03 15:30:19 UTC

Currently with the updated package you can:

- enable both the service and socket activation by running:
# systemctl enable acpid.service
or simply by using:
# systemctl enable acpid

- enable only socket activation by running:
# systemctl enable acpid.socket
