Can't get battery status on Debian guest / MacBook Air M2 host

[mbrennwa]

I am running a Debian SID / GNOME guest using VMWare Fusion 13.0 on macOS 13.5 with a MacBook Air M2. I enabled the "Enable Power Status to VM" setting, and rebooted both the host and the guest. However, I don't get any battery information on the guest. Can someone help me getting this to work?

I assume that you have both open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools desktop installed?

Yes, both installed.
