All the ACPI, uPower, eLoginD packages are installed before the reboot, but the system still doesn’t load the battery.

If you try to start it manually /usr/sbin/acpid what do you get as output? I think all that acpid-openrc does is this.

‘‘sudo acpid’’ command just runs without any logs.

Your kernel installation is incomplete or botched, run

Code: [Select]

find /usr/lib/modules -name "*acpi_call*"

and post results. If it comes back empty, re-install your kernel.

I have these acpi_call modules and what to do now? After kernel reinstallation the above results are remained the same. After a reboot then nothing wrong?

Are you by any chance using the new arch kernel 5.0 or 5.0.1?
I tried it and had some problems, USB disks sticks, etc, wouldn't list on /dev/disk
Hwinfo would show that the system read the hw but this didn't translate in being able to access them or mount them.
I switched back to artix 4.19 and the problem went away.

Please, run the commands exactly as I requested. Not updatedbs, no locates, no greps. It makes it hard to get meaningful information. Even so, your result only showed a module in extramodules-ARCH and you seem to be running 4.20.12-artix1-1-ARTIX. No wonder your kernel can't load it.
Follow the instructions of my previous post and also show us your running kernel with uname -a.

My kernel is 4.20.12-ARTIX, and the outputs from the command you request are the same from:

Install acpi_call-dkms, it should fix your problem.

Try re-installing, the acpi_call is missing from your kernel modules directory.
This is what you should be seeing:

Note that I’m already 5.0.2 kernel that misses acpi kernel object somewhy. So downgrade the kernel as casually proposed before?

My guess is acpi_call-dkms fails to build the module for kernel 5. Perhaps, until this is fixed upstream, you should downgrade your kernel.
