The output of "on_ac_power && echo yes || echo no" is as expected: yes while on ac and no while on battery.
Nevertheless, the aggressive hard disk spin down is always active - no matter I'm on ac or not. Only disabling it manually helps. I have a Dell Latitude D620, if this is of any help. How can I find out why the settings do not work while being on ac? -- Regression: HD spins down all the time after upgrade of pm-utils https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606706 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
