"Partial ACPI Installation" on MacBook5,2

Hi, I'm running Daedalus OpenRC on a 2009 MacBook (MacBook5,2) with Trinity DE. When I go into the laptop battery settings, it says "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel." I'm not sure if this is just Apple hardware weirdness or not, but is there any way for me to fix this?

Re: "Partial ACPI Installation" on MacBook5,2

This is just a guess, but you could start by seeing what acpi packages are already installed and compare that to what's available in the repo. Post the output of the first command and maybe someone can tell you what's missing.

# show what's installed
dpkg -l | grep acpi

# see what's available
apt-cache search acpi

I only have

ii  acpi                                     1.7-1.2                             amd64        displays information on ACPI devices

I wasn't aware anything else might be needed

Re: "Partial ACPI Installation" on MacBook5,2

Oh, interesting. I don't have that one. I have:

ii  acpi-fakekey                     0.143-5.1                     amd64        tool to generate fake key events
ii  acpi-support                     0.143-5.1                     all          scripts for handling many ACPI events
ii  acpi-support-base                0.143-5.1                     all          scripts for handling base ACPI events such as the power button
ii  acpid                            1:2.0.33-2+b1                 amd64        Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon

I don't know what you need, but -support and -support-base are probably good ones to try first.

I added all four here and rebooted, still seems to have the same problem.

ii  acpi-fakekey                     0.143-5.1                     amd64        tool to generate fake key events
ii  acpi-support                     0.143-5.1                     all          scripts for handling many ACPI events
ii  acpi-support-base                0.143-5.1                     all          scripts for handling base ACPI events such as the power button
ii  acpid                            1:2.0.33-2+b1                 amd64        Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon

Re: "Partial ACPI Installation" on MacBook5,2

rebuild your kernel

Been bit by this before on an Intel (not mac) laptop, the kernel did not have the correct ACPI motherboard support.
