laptop-mode: failed - udev not active?

TheChosenOne · 2014-02-08 21:00:23

I get this message when I start Arch. It usually appears twice.
Nothing is broken as far as I know, but I'm just annoyed by it. Anyone got an idea why this error might pop up?

What is in the journal?

This is a udev grep on journalctl:

You might want to change your thread title: laptop-mode is failing, not udev.

A little outdated but the suggested fix won't harm your system (if suggested fix doesn't work, just change it back to original path). Try https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1066157 which summarizes the comment of bug report at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28573 <--which was closed for being fixed. Is your system up to date?

There doesn't seem to be a /sbin/udevadm/ in hdparm.
Yes. My system is up to date.

What does systemctl status laptop-mode.service say?
