I can confirm this bug with versions previous to Gutsy Tribe 5, however as of Ubuntu Gutsy Beta this issue seems to be fixed and laptop modes starts up without issues.
Please note that advice by Tom Gillam unfortunately did not last over the reboot of the machine and needed to be applied every time. ** Changed in: laptop-mode-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- laptop mode tools not running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
