virtual machines still present what looks like an acpi subsystem to the guest os kernel - thus e will keep asking for acpid so it can get acpi events. it requires root to read acpi events. e doesn't have such a reader of its own - it has always relied on acpid for this. > Regards, > > Eric > > > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-users mailing list > enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
