Thanks for all this new work! I'm sorry I haven't been able to be as responsive as I would like. Hopefully I will be able to spend more time on this soon. I see you grabbed the sata link power management script. This script actually causes some device failures on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (which is based on 2.6.32). We are near to releasing a stable release update to remove that script. I hadn't deleted it yet from our development tree in the hope that we could fix the kernel issue before 10.10 ships. However, I think it makes sense to release this script as you have it in pm-utils, but to disable it by default until we can confirm it is fixed in the upstream kernel. I will download and test out the new package. I think overall we'll probably just stay in sync with your scripts upstream now and get rid of our own policy package. We may drop the sound HDA powersave functionality and default to powersave all the time (not just on battery), but you've written the new script so we can easily disable it without having to hack around it :). Do you know when this might be released? I hope we can pick it up for Ubuntu 10.10, in which case it needs to be released in the next month or so if at all possible. Again, thank you so much for the integration and writing of the new scripts. You've made this task much easier for me, and I think it will improve performance for Ubuntu users and users of other distros greatly. -- Chase _______________________________________________ Pm-utils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils
