Briefly describe your issue below:
Great install, however:
- battery is not recognized
- touchscreen does not work
- computer does not suspend or hibernate
I have extensively researched these topics on the web and in this forum and it would be really great if I could move forward with your help.
Regarding the battery:
I get a message on the system tray icon saying: No batteries available.
The battery is not listed/present anywhere (usb, pci, etc)
Not found here:
inxi -Fxz
lsusb
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
Anywhere.
Computer works great on battery. I just can’t track battery level.
Obs. acpi -a
Adapter 0: off-line
I am suggested to add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux” to /etc/default/grub.
However, on a persistence installation, grub is not present at the usual locations.
I tried finding grub with command find. Could only find directories with this name, where in some cases there was a grub.cfg file, which is unwritable.
Looking for a file named grub (as in /etc/default/grub to gedit) no results are found.
Regarding touchscreen: (if you decide, we could focus on just one issue at a time, so not talking about touchscreen at all until battery is not solved)
lsmod finds hid_multitouch 28672 0
I have tried rebooting on the “Live” option of the booter as some pages suggested, but the touchscreen didn’t work there either.
I am suggested to build the latest kernel. I have just sudo apt install linux-image-5.5.0-1parrot1-amd64, which is the latest in the repository, despite the fact that we can find the latest stable version to be the 5.6.8 on kernel.org.
I have got the following error messages (apart from several other above these, basically saying that I cannot do such a thing as build the latest kernel on a “live” installation):
Error! The /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/1.0.20200413/5.5.0-1parrot1-amd64/x86_64/dkms.conf for module wireguard includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.
.
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
I: update-initramfs is disabled (live system is running on read-only media).
Scanning application launchers
Removing duplicate launchers from Debian
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
