 |
|
Hi, as a regular user I couldn't add a battery monitor onto the panel, I got the follwoing error:
| Quote: | | Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/acpid.socket! Make sure the ACPI subsystem is working and the acpid daemon is running. |
I didn't enable APM,but only settings on ACPI, also as I mentioned before, opening up a bettery monitor as root is of no problem.
cheers, thanks for help

sounds like a permission problem. do an ls -l on /var/run/.
if your user could use it, it would say -??????r-- (where ? is whatever it says..)
you could chmod it to see if that lets your user read it.
| Code: | | chmod o+r /var/run/acpid.socket |
that makes it world readable, so any user can see it.

happily solved:
battery monitor problem(with gnome) solved by:
run as root:
emerge acpid
rc-update add acpid default
thanks to previous threads, phew... |
