Upon first boot of fresh install of current versions of both Arch and Enlightenment, after the preliminary Englightenment configuration prompts when reaching the desktop, a warning pops up telling me acpid cannot load.
I am not sure if this is a bug per-se, since it may be intentionally left out, and the warning only designed to remind users of this functionality and to install on a systems where it is required; however on a previous release (circa 2019) this issue did not appear
My system is:
Lenovo G780
Arch Linux x86_64
Kernal 6.0.6-arch1-1
WM: Enlightenment
CPU: Intel i5-3210M
GPU: 3rd Gen Core processor
I have produced issue 2 times, both times were from current versions of Arch and Enlightenment
#pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim nano
followed by chroot
#pacman -S networkmanager
#systemctl enable NetworkManager
and reboot into the system.
#pacman -Syu
#pacman -S xorg lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter efl enlightenment terminology
#systemctl enable lightdm
and reboot into lightdm + Enlightenment
Followed the Enlightenment first run configuration prompts and load into the desktop environment and the ACPID warning appears automatically, first thing
Issue solved
#pacman -S acpid
#systemctl enable acpid.service
#systemctl start acpid.service

Sorry I do not have logs or know what is a trace extract
Yes - I added the dialog to detect if acpid would be needed and remind the user in e 0.25 - it didnt check before then and just assumed you'd do the right thing and e would silently just lose features and not let you know. It's not a bug. it's intended. no - it's not a REQUIREMENT of the e package as not all systems use ACPI. for example on arm systems like raspberry pi's - no ACPI. If you go to an old enough x86 PC it will also not have ACPI. So it's detected at runtime and if the system appears to have ACPI support - e will complain to remind you to install it. acpidd is listed as an optdepends which is technically correct.
