Laptop mode doesn't seem to sense state changes when resuming from
standby or hibernate. Should I open a  new bug for this?

I've put 'hdparm -B 254' back now:

laptop-mode-tools (1.45-1ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf: Go back to 'hdparm -B 254';
acpi-support has been fixed to do that now, so let's not have
laptop-mode-tools undo the effectiveness of that fix in the name of
consistency with an old version (LP: #172282).

Why is this change still here?  This seems like some sort of breakage in the 
logic.

Dana, the change is still there because nobody has had time to change it
and test it carefully enough to suggest a package update. It's probably
too late for Intrepid, but let's hope for Jaunty. The earlier it gets
fixed in the development cycle, the better.

The package got a lot of improvements early in Intrepid, mainly because
people here came up with patches and were actively testing. Then it got
quiet, so I hope that means it works pretty ok by now.

2008-08-19 Thread ceg
Alexey, you did good in making the patch acceptable. (And since you had
success, even better!)

So second step would be to flip the settings the right way.

hdparm -B254 needs to be reintroduced because bug #172282 has changed
that setting in the meantime.

(Yann who reported 254 did not work for him might very well have
suffered from /etc/acpi/power.sh messing around. I happen to have a WD
drive and have experienced exactly this.)

2008-08-18 Thread ceg
Thank you for your comments.

Then the current state  I see in intrepid is this:

- You still need to ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=1 in /etc/default/acpi-support
(Bug 244838)

- The /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf default hdparm -B value has been
changed from 254 to 255.

This may be OK for consistency of the current state, but 254 is actually needed 
for many laptop harddisks to stop load cycling. (hdparm -B255 turns off the 
disk's apm feature, but this only turns off the spin down timer in many disks 
and doesn't increase the head parking timer at all, which is the issue here.)
(Added that info to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement)

Laptop-mode has always shipped with the sane defaults like 254. I see no
real reason to keep suboptimal defaults from the ubuntu hack. The
defaults can just be merged from the debian package I guess.

(Bug 244838)

It seems simple enough to just remove that check from laptop-mode-tools.
But I am a little bit concerned about upgrades - what should we do -
just turn on laptop-mode for everyone, which defaulted to off before?
Should we delete that line from people's configuration files? Or comment
it?

 The /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf default hdparm -B value has been
changed from 254 to 255.

This should have been 254 IIRC, since bug #172282 got fixed with laptop-
mode-tools (1.35-1ubuntu1). Is it really back to 255?

Yes, indeed. The 255 was reintroduced by the patch in this bug report,
in order to keep the exact same functionality as before in Ubuntu, when
it was set by acpi-support (and not by laptop-mode-tools).

But I guess it will make sense to move one step forward and set it to
254, as recommended upstream. The best would be to reopen bug #172282,
which has pointers to the relevant discussion. Looking at it, there are
actually some systems where 255 is better, but I think 254 is optimal
for the majority.

2008-08-18 Thread Alexey Borzenkov
Tormod, ceg, I thought one step at a time is always much easier to
accept, that's why I chose to migrate old settings first. I feared
otherwise people would end up arguing what defaults are better/worse and
this would get nowhere. Now there are just two steps, indeed. Figuring
out best default values (maybe previous values were indeed better? who
knows?), then dumping need for ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true altogether:
laptop-mode-tools can behave on its own, thank you. :) That's what I see
in Debian sid right now, if my eyes are not deceiving me. If there are
any concerns about system freezes or any issues like that, you could try
setting ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_BATTERY=0 by default. This way laptop_mode
won't set /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode to possibly troubling values, but
would still do a lot of useful things (i.e. all those NOLM settings).

2008-08-18 Thread Tormod Volden
Alexey, I totally agree, doing it like you did was the best way. Change
code first, preserving behaviour, and then flip the configuration
settings later. I just forgot about that setting being in this patch.

We must be careful to avoid regressions. laptop-mode-tools used to be an
add-on package, later become installed by default, but disabled. for a
reason or many. But maybe these reasons are not valid any longer.
Anyway, changing power and disk settings is always controversial.

About ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE, I commented on this in bug #244838 - I think
that's the right place for that discussion. We have spread things out in
way too many bug reports maybe :)

One difference with Debian is that there, people install the package
because they want it, and uninstall it if it doesn't work well. On
Ubuntu, we ship it to everybody, and it must Just Work.

  * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #255446), remaining changes:
- etc/init.d/laptop-mode: Check if laptop mode is disabled in
  /etc/default/laptop-mode (that's the file laptop_mode looks into, too,
  but it incorrectly evaluates the ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE setting) as well
  as in /etc/default/acpi-support.
- usr/sbin/laptop_mode: Do not parse arguments, ignore force and
  let start/stop mean enable/disable.
- /usr/sbin/laptop_mode: Do not read $ACTIVATE_WITH_POSSIBLE_DATA_LOSS
  from /var/run/laptop-mode-state to see if state has changed.
- debian/rules: Do not ship acpi/apm scripts (we handle that ourselves)
- debian/laptop-mode-tools.preinst: Remove any old acpi/apm scripts
- debian/laptop-mode-tools.postinst: Create /etc/default/laptop-mode
  (with ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false) if the file does not exist yet and we
  are on ppc.
- Also accept stop as second argument since the init script
  calls laptop_mode with init stop

2008-08-09 Thread ceg

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.

I just wondered what part of the software of an 'avarage/ standard'
Ubuntu installation triggers disk acess  somwhere in between 30 and 90
seconds?

In case that there is no other foreground activity (e.g. the user is
away and the screensaver blanked the display) an apporoach delaying non

2008-08-05 Thread Alexey Borzenkov
tricky1, what does this have to do with my bug report?

Note, that the values you see in my debdiff are the ones currently
specified in /etc/default/acpi-support and /etc/acpi/power.sh, nothing
more. /etc/default/acpi-support currently specifies SPINDOWN_TIME=12,
but 12 is not seconds, it's a magical value that translates to 60
seconds (because in that lower range it's a number of 5 seconds
intervals). It is not my job to argue correctness of default values, all
I want is to move hard-coded values from acpi-support to laptop-mode-
tools where they can be clearly and easily tweaked by users (i.e. 60
seconds is much more elaborate than magical number 12).

I wonder if this would be triaged and/or considered by developers before
Intrepid freeze...

2008-08-05 Thread Tore Anderson
I'm a bit off-topic here, but seeing how this bug is about moving
functionality from acpi-support to laptop-mode, I'm wondering if you
know where pm-utils fits in?

That package also does a bit of toggling power saving functions when
switching between mains/battery.  I recently submitted a patch for SATA
ALPM, too.  However I have no idea if there actually is a strategy to
gather up all of those scripts in pm-utils or laptop-mode (and
eventually deprecate the other) or if they're supposed to be
(arbitrarily) distributed between them.  It seems a rather chaotic at
the moment, to be frank.  I wonder if there's any official master plan
here...

Anyway, I hope your patch makes it in (as well as the one for acpi-
support).  But in order for it to work properly /etc/default/acpi-
support also needs to be updated to ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true which really
should be the default -  the machines that get odd hangs should be
blacklisted instead of ruining battery runtime for everyone...

That setting is good example of the chaos I mentioned above, by the
way...  You'll need to enable functionality provided by package A which
is controlled by package B in a configuration file for package C -
yikes!

Well, that turned halfway into a rant - apologies.  Anyway.  If there's
any Ubuntu devs listening, please do apply this patch and the one in
#250938 before Intrepid, as the way the three power management packages
interact now is clearly broken.  And hopefully there'll be some strategy
to clean up the power management soon.  The current state of things is
just depressing.  If somebody can point out the overall direction I'd
love to help out with patches - I'd love to see Ubuntu being able to
squeeze the maximum uptime possible out of my battery.  :-)

Alexey, thanks for working on a debdiff. I have some comments:
1. I think the package should install default hooks in /usr/lib/pm-utils. The 
/etc directory is for system-wide configuration by the local administrator.
2. Does these fixes make sense in Debian? If so please file them there also.
3. Are some fixes needed in the pm-utils package as well? Can you reference 
other bug reports (with patches)?
4. Does the laptop_mode script handle auto correctly? (I don't remember)

Thanks again for looking thoroughly into this, it really is time we get
it fixed.

2008-08-05 Thread Alexey Borzenkov
1. Well, if it's true it should be very easy to change: just 
s[etc/pm/][usr/lib/pm-utils/] in the debdiff.
2. Unfortunately, I have no clue if Debian currently uses acpi-support/pm-utils 
or anything else. At the very least they don't have hacks in /etc/acpi/power.sh 
like Ubuntu has, so they must be doing something differently.
3. At first I was thinking about changing pm-utils, but then I realized that 
pm-utils shouldn't control laptop-mode-tools either. So I decided that the 
correct place for hooks is laptop-mode-tools itself.
4. As far as I reviewed laptop_mode script it should. It should actually do it 
without arguments as well, but I thought it is better to pass auto anyway. It's 
just important not to pass start/stop, comment Old options. We always do 
auto for any option now is misleading: check for start/stop is done after 
auto-detection.

Additionally, compared to Debian, Ubuntu's laptop_mode has state check
commented out, which means we don't have problems like previous state
is incorrect after hibernate/thaw and settings are not reapplied. Just
calling laptop_mode auto at the right moments seems to be sufficient in
Ubuntu (as long as /etc/init.d/laptop-mode is in runlevels).
