Q1: How can I overcome the "acpid: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed" problem?
Try:
chmod -x /etc/init.d/acpid apt-get install acpid
No, that gives me the same error message as well. In fact, I found that the /etc/init.d/acpid already has the a-x mode.
a-x? The script should *not* have any execution bits set so the 'if [ -x "/etc/init.d/acpid" ]; then' from /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.p* does not match.
Are you really sure you executed my lines above? Please provide output of:
ls -la /etc/init.d/acpid apt-get install acpid
While trying to find what's wrong, I've tried the following but all failed:
invoke-rc.d acpid start /etc/init.d/acpid start
Tracing into /etc/init.d/acpid, I noticed that it is this code that returns error:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/acpid -- -c \ /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket
For sure, cause your system (VMware) wants to prevent you from using something that doesn't make any sense. ;)
Any idea? Oh, forgot to mention, I'm testing within vmware.
Forget powermanagement inside VMware. :)
