Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.47-1
Followup-For: Bug #495036
I have a similar issue on a Thinkpad Z61t. When I plug/unplug the
AC adapter, laptop_mode is not invoked to change the power settings. Since
/proc/acpi/event (and therefore 'acpid') is deprecated, everything's moving
to pm-utils.
Attached is a quick bash script I wrote that plugs in to the
pm-utils framework and runs laptop_mode when the power state changes. It
should be placed in /etc/pm/power.d . You may wish to add it or its moral
equivalent to the laptop-mode-tools distribution.
Thanks,
Schwab
