Bug#490718: No acpi problem
I red the e-mails and can't find answers to any of my questions. Where do you think the answers would be? Okay, giving you the benefit of the doubt I try again. acpi is a tool to display the information given in /proc or /sys. Information that is not available there simply cannot be displayed. Even if there was another way to get this information it would be beyond the scope of acpi to get this. Thus I see no bug in acpi because it exactly does what it's supposed to do, display the available information. On your system the kernel does not give this information to the userland binary acpi. I cannot tell why, this could be a kernel bug or a missing feature. Now this is definitely not the way it should be but there is no way acpi can change this. Hope this makes it clearer.

Thus I see no bug in acpi because it exactly does what it's supposed to do, display the available information. Thanks, but the manpage doesn't talk about available information: -t | --thermal show thermal information But -t doesn't show thermal information here. This does not mean that this is an acpi bug, only that acpi exposes a bug somewhere. But if you believe that this is no acpi bug, then the bug report should be reassigned rather than closed. On your system the kernel does not give this information to the userland binary acpi. I cannot tell why, this could be a kernel bug or a missing feature. Now this is definitely not the way it should be but there is no way acpi can change this. This is why I'm not sure this isn't an acpi bug. If the bug isn't in something acpi relies on (missing information is just a missing feature), then the bug is in acpi for not properly handling a missing feature. However, if you're sure that Linux is buggy, then I'm fine with reassigning the bug to Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#490718: No acpi problem
I don't know how acpi works, but I doubt that acpi can't display this Maybe I didn't express myself well enough, sorry. acpi just reads the data as provided by the proc- or sys-filesystem. If there is no information provided by the kernel, acpi cannot display it. information. Wven if this is true, this is no reason to close this report without justification. If acpi can't display the requested information, it There was a justification given: Upon further review it showed that the files needed to gather thermal information were not available on this machine. Thus acpi cannot display this information. ... I still fail to see why this is no justification. Again, information not provided by the kernel cannot be displayed. could print an error. If my system is normal, the acpi manpage should be changed to explain that acpi will only show thermal information when this is possible (ideally indicating when this is possible or not). The manpage says: ... acpi Shows information from the /proc or the /sys filesystem, ... It clearly says that acpi only shows information it gets there. So, please reopen. Note that this bug persists with Linux 2.6.26. No, I won't because this is not a bug in acpi but a problem your system has with the kernel. It might be a kernel bug though.
