Hi Tormod, you asked: 3. Are some fixes needed in the pm-utils package as well? Can you reference other bug reports (with patches)?
I do remeber two things, first Bug #239419 (pm-utils) "pm-utils has laptop-tools script which conflicts with laptop-mode-tools" has been wrongly set as a duplicate of this bug, but is actually messing with laptop-mode-tools job. IMHO the cleanest (and non misleading) fix would be to just remove the /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-tools script from pm-tools. (laptop- mode-tools does all that in a configurable way) And as Alexey has pointed out in a comment, as this script has (and currently is) setting /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode unconditionaly. So it is tested is may be time now to enable laptop-mode by default with package laptop-mode-tools. (It will still only activate laptop-mode on battery by default.) But then finally Bug #59695 (High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime) can be fixed. Simply by enabling CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1 in laptop-mode.conf. The NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254 setting that is present will then disable head parking by default. -- [intrepid] laptop-mode-tools needs to change its default settings to match acpi-support and add hooks for pm-utils https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250935 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
