[Bug 638307] Re: Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools. Conflict with pm-utils makes laptop-mode-tools package break suspend
Ritesh, the conflict was in fact added in Debian experimental: pm-utils (1.4.1-2) experimental; urgency=low [ Matt Zimmerman ] * debian/control: Conflicts/Replaces: laptop-mode-tools, as both ship /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode and the changelog below indicates these two packages should not be used together anyway. (LP: #606160) -- Martin Pitt Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:21:49 +0200 pm-utils (1.4.1-1) experimental; urgency=low [ Michael Biebl ] * New upstream release. (Closes: #588587) The main improvement is that this ships some generally useful power management hooks by default. Note that this conflicts with similar packages such as laptop-mode-tools or pm-utils-powersave-policy, so you should not enable them and pm-utils at the same time. [...] Thus this is going to have to be resolved in Debian as well at some point ... ** Summary changed: - Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools.

[Bug 638307] Re: Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools. Conflict with pm-utils makes laptop-mode-tools package break suspend
To point out why laptop mode tools is essential for me: I originally had to install the laptop-mode-tools to spin-down my non- flash HD on my laptop. Root file system and /home are installed on separate flash HD that is installed on cd-rom slot. Without laptop mode tools the sda (non flash) kept spinning, making (loud) noise and consuming battery. It was unacceptable. IF pm-utils can handle this, mayby we should also update wiki pages: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement#How%20to%20get%20disks%20to%20spin%20down%20and%20idle%20correctly%20%28without%20excessive%20load%20cycling%29 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638307 Title: Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools.

FWIW, I notice there has been an out-standing merge request in progress for newer lmt: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/laptop-mode-tools/+bug/602881 May want to review before dropping the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638307 Title: Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools.

I too got hit by this and lost a few hours in debugging it. laptop-mode-tools is old cruft... its description makes it sound much more useful than I gather it actually is, and given that this particular bug has been open for over a year indicates it's not likely to get fixed. Since installation of this package has rather severe consequences (which I've verified on two of my own machines), I think we should go ahead and just drop it from the archive. If there are any other bits in lmt worth retaining, I suppose people can file bugs to get them moved into pm-utils as appropriate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638307 Title: Please remove/blacklist laptop-mode-tools.
