I need to use the acpi_listen command. It wasn't installed so I did:



pacman -S acpid


Then when I run the command acpi_listen I get:



acpi_listen: can't open socket /var/run/acpid.socket: No such file or directory


I checked the in /var/run and the file does not exist. If I do a ps -ef | grep acpi, it outputs:



[acpi_thermal_pm]
[ktpacpid]


What can I do?

          In archlinux, this will make it work: systemctl start acpid.service

          • It does not make it work. At least a hint to status and error message should be given to debug the situation or at least give it up

          • That's the systemd way, so ArchLinux is "Poetterized" as well?

          For me the acpid.service was already running. I use Debian 9 (stretch) so this might not be the case for everybody.



          /var/run/acpid.socket is the default location. Checking the systemd status of acpid.socket reveals where the actual socket file being used is located.



          $ systemctl status acpid.socket 
          ● acpid.socket - ACPID Listen Socket
          Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/acpid.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
          Active: active (running) since Mon 2019-03-25 18:33:04 CET; 41min ago
          Listen: /run/acpid.socket (Stream)


          Just create a symlink to the default socket location and you're good to go:



          sudo ln -s /run/acpid.socket /var/run/acpid.socket


          Alternatively, specify which socket you want to use:



          acpi_listen -s /run/acpid.socket
