This is helpful when debugging dynamic issues, in particular if it is not clear whether the issue is coming from the kernel or upower. In addition, it can also be useful to run upower in debug mode and post the logs. There are two ways of doing so: + - Run upower daemon manually, you can do so using: `sudo /usr/libexec/upowerd -rd` - Modify the systemd service and restart.
