I can also confirm this. Note that's it's acpi_osi="!Darwin" (@melmeiro ommited the "!"). I actually already had this kernel option because it greatly improves battery life, so all I had to do was actually remove the package. Since I won't be using this anymore, I'll no longer be maitaining this package, feel free to adopt it.

After reading rembo10's comment, I have decided to give a shut to putting acpi_osi=Darwin in kernel options. It worked like a charm. I will no longer keep in using mba6x_bl driver on my Macbook Air (early-2014). Thanks a lot. You made my day.

Hey - not sure if this helps anyone but adding acpi_osi="!Darwin" to my kernel options, I no longer needed to use this package

@hobarrera I'm getting the same error as @dougv. I brought it up on pacaur's issue tracker, and here's what the author said [1]: > Please follow proper VCS guidelines. If the issue still happens, open a new bug report. Can you please take a look and see whether we're properly following the AUR guidelines for VCS packages? Thanks.

hi. getting an error when installing with pacaur: [CODE] mba6x_bl-dkms package(s) failed to install. Check .SRCINFO for mismatching data with PKGBUILD. [/CODE] googling has not helped me fix this up. any tips? thanks in advance

Sorry, looks like I'd never pushed my latest local changes. Current PKGUILD should work fine.

I just tried what @realwaysdi suggested and everything seems to be working perfectly for me. I have an early 2014 MBA running kernel version 4.5.1-1

I solve this problem for my MacBook Air. Edit the PKGBUILD: depends=('dkms' 'linux-headers') Enjoy

@ericgroom: Yes, you should be able to boot via an USB drive or something and chroot. Here's the exact upstream issue with details: https://github.com/patjak/mba6x_bl/issues/43 Basically, I couldn't get brightness over 0%, but there are suggested workarounds.

ericgroom commented on 2016-03-19 22:54 (UTC)

I'm not super familiar with dkms. If it did break my system, would I be able to chroot in and uninstall the package?
