[Solved] acpi battery information

After an upgrade (I think), i3status began reporting "No battery" in the battery indicator.

The acpi command returns nothing

$ acpi
$ acpi -i
$ acpi -b

I have reinstalled acpid, re-enabled and re-started the service to no avail.

$ systemctl enable acpid
$ systemctl start acpid

acpid status appears to be okay I think?

$ systemctl status acpid
● acpid.service - ACPI event daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

What is wrong?

Re: [Solved] acpi battery information

Remove the acpi option from your kernel line.
