Public bug reported: Binary package hint: acpi-support
(ubuntu 8.04) /etc/acpi/power.sh is called when switching between battery and AC. It then includes the scripts in /etc/acpi/battery.d and /etc/acpi/ac.d . After this it conditionally sets the laptop_mode and then hdparm -B and -S values. Thus power.sh overrides user scripts in /etc/acpi/battery.d and /etc/acpi/ac.d . A solution that would be a little bit more obvious and easyly configurable might be the following: Package acpi-support: Remove laptop_mode start/stop calls and hdparm stuff from power.sh Remove ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE setting from /etc/default/acpi-support. (And point to laptop-mode.conf for LM on battery, empty battery and AC.) Package laptop-mode-tools: Include scripts that call "/usr/bin/laptop_mode auto" in in /etc/acpi/ac.d, battery.d, resume.d and start.d. Then its the users choice to put scripts after or before the laptop-mode symlinks. (Adapt the approach from the laptop-mode-tools debian package to current ubuntu acpi-support) (The current laptop-mode disk-idleing approach seems to be a left-over from before the ubuntu-laptop-mode package was droped for laptop-mode- tools.) ** Affects: acpi-support (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- /etc/acpi/power.sh overrides user scripts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
