Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.90-4
If possible, could you set
ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true
in /etc/default/acpi-support by default. I've added support to
laptop-mode-tools to honor this setting, but now I'm getting a lot of
users who complain that laptop-mode-tools is suddenly and inexplicably
not starting anymore. If you don't change the default, I will have to
either show a very big warning every time laptop mode fails to start, or
I will have to stop honoring this setting again, simply to keep the bug
reports from flowing in...
Note that setting ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true on Debian has a different
effect on Ubuntu than on Debian, because they patched laptop mode tools
to listen to acpi-support. Setting ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true on Debian
does not automatically enable laptop mode like on Ubuntu, it simply has
the effect of making laptop-mode-tools work like it always has instead
of completely disabling it.
BTW, the reason this was originally set to "false" in Ubuntu was because
of inexplicable system hangs that seemed to be related to laptop mode.
I've never heard of any of these hangs on any non-Ubuntu systems though,
so I actually see no reason to disable this by default on Debian.
Cheers,
Bart
