I was trying to figure out an Xorg.log error, which pointed to acpid.socket . my Xorg.21.log ended with these lines ( lots of them) tail Xorg.21.log (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused)
I installed the latest nvidia driver, and now I get this in the Xorg log: (II) NVIDIA(0): Unable to connect to the ACPI daemon; the ACPI daemon may not (II) NVIDIA(0): be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration option (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be set correctly. When the ACPI daemon is (II) NVIDIA(0): available, the NVIDIA X driver can use it to receive ACPI (II) NVIDIA(0): events. For details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README.
