Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

@Annika, the previously posted lsmod doesn't seem to match any of the differences but you could however diff the lsmod of the kernel w/ modprobe-db and that w/o?

huh? thats not an lsmod, that's grepping the running kernel config.gz for matches of ASUS, and I know since this issue is related to ASUS EC/ACPI control, perhaps these are causing problems so to rule that out, im compiling another kernel to test against, so i cant reboot to provide a diff atm but i will once done compiling!

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

Yes, I'm remotely aware of that
The idea was to compare the lsmods *instead* (since that allows you to see what watered down from the config)

@Annika

This is an output from lts kernel. I hope this will help with debugging

zless /proc/config.gz | rg -i asus
CONFIG_USB_PEGASUS=m
CONFIG_TABLET_USB_PEGASUS=m
CONFIG_HID_ASUS=m
CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_ASUS_WIRELESS=m
CONFIG_ASUS_WMI=m
CONFIG_ASUS_NB_WMI=m

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

alright everyone, indeed it is down to these four modules!

 
CONFIG_SENSORS_ASUS_WMI=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_ASUS_EC=m
CONFIG_HID_ASUS=m
CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m

that are causing the problems, @seth, I tried to make a lsmod diff, but it kinda doesn't work out well because of the kernel process IDs being there lol

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

Did you see my edit on your edit on how to filter lsmod to make it diff'able?

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

from what i can gather, it seems likely that one (or more) of those 4 modules enables other code paths in the asus-wmi module that cause these laptops to not function correctly with reporting acpi events to the kernel

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

So today a tried the patchset on the kernel 6.0-rc2
the good news the battery and the sensor problem is gone and also more sensors appear
the bad news is that the touchpad stop working and kde can't find it

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

Will the problem be solved in current kernel?

Probably not the patch that is available is for 6.0

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

Same problem here with Asus TUF A15 2021. Kernel 5.19.3 does not work. The last kernel works is 5.18.16.

I don't test that version but I can see is 5.18 release candidate version, de bug is from 5.19.X version.

By default git describe finds the most recent tag that predates the commit rather than the most recent tag that contains the commit.  If a commit has been queued for weeks or months this can lead to surprising results:

git describe c069d2756c01
v5.18-rc7-164-gc069d2756c01
git describe --contains c069d2756c01
v5.19-rc1~47^2~4

Edit:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p2054108 5.19.4 with 87d0e2f41b8cc2018499be4e8003fa8c09b6f2fb reverted which fixes one of the issues.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch no longer updates battery level/state

this patch (https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver … l.com/T/#t) still isn't in the kernel 6.0-rc3
any one knows when it will be added to the kernel?
if it will be added at all
