Librem 14 Failed to charge SOLVED

Hi, may I suggest a different approach to try to install the driver in Fedora.

You can try to convert the DEB package into a an RPM package that you can install with dnf.

To do this:

  • Install the package alien in Fedora:

sudo dnf install alien

  • Download a copy of the deb package from here:

https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/pool/main/libr/librem-ec-acpi/librem-ec-acpi-dkms_0.9.1-1~pureos1_all.deb

  • To convert the package into an RPM package, from the same directory to where you downloaded the deb package, run the command:

sudo alien -r --scripts librem-ec-acpi-dkms_0.9.1-1~pureos1_all.deb

  • This will generate the package:

librem-ec-acpi-dkms-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm

  • That you can install using dnf;

sudo dnf install ./librem-ec-acpi-dkms-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm

And then reboot. Then please list here the files under:

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/

I tried this method in a VM with fedora 34 latest kernel. And the driver installed.

But since it was not a baremetal install there was no battery settings for me to check
