Package: brightd
Version: 0.4.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
brightd does not fade because it wrongly thinks laptop is always on AC.
The problem is in the patch
0002-Don-t-use-deprecated-proc-acpi-for-AC-detection.patch
| FILE *ac = fopen("/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online", "r");
| ...
| ac_state = fgetc(ac);
| fclose(ac);
| return ac_state;
In the kernel from debian buster the file opened contains '0' or '1',
the patch does not parse the character '0' but simple returns the
character casted to an int.
Which means the function isOnAC always returns true, which means brightd
currently does nothing, it never fades.
Output of brightd when on battery (or on AC, doesn't matter)
|brightd -w 5 -v
|Maximum brightness is 4437
|Opened X11 Display from ENV{DISPLAY}
|Opened a connection
|Would fade, but on AC
|Would fade, but on AC
|Would fade, but on AC
| ...
best regards,
gebi
