* Let laptop-mode-tools run properly (closes LP: #250938)
- power.sh: remove laptop-mode invocations, should be handled by pm-utils
- acpi-support: remove SPINDOWN_TIME, should be controlled by laptop-mode
** Changed in: acpi-support (Ubuntu)
Running Hardy on a Dell D430.
I've installed the laptop-mode-tools upstream deb package from the
maintainer's website on his suggestion. It's seems to be widely
acknowledged that good laptop power management in Ubuntu is broken.
With the upstream Debian package, things appear to be working but
I was applying a similar patch for a while now and didn't have any
problems (of course you'd have to apply my patch from bug #239419). I
was going to finally report it, but found this bug. It is shocking that
this wasn't fixed for 1.5 years. O.o
Oh well, if developers don't care I guess we'll
Yes, upstream went away from using start/stop to only use auto some
time ago. But a patch was kept in the Ubuntu version to retain the
start/stop options, probably because of interactions with acpi-support.
I am not sure if this patch is needed any longer. Testing would be
welcome, as well as
Seems this old bug has regained a lot of attention these days. I'm just
wondering why the original patch by Roy is kept back, for so long. The
logic is crystal clear and It works perfectly well. And this bug still
doesn't have an assignee?

AFAICS you should *never* call $LAPTOP_MODE start (or stop). You should
always use $LAPTOP_MODE auto (which will then honour the config file
preferences).

chourave, I didn't attach a new script, but a patch for it. A patch only
includes the changes, and you have to apply it with:
sudo patch -i power.sh.patch /etc/apci/power.sh
(or just hand-edit the power.ch yourself, and move $LAPTOP_MODE start to the
bottom of the laptop_mode_enable function)
ok Tormod, thank you for patching my linux knowledge !!
Your solution is simpler than mine : I have an additionnal logical
condition evaluation to distinguish between the laptop-mode script and
the laptop_mode_enable function
if [ x$ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE = xtrue ]; then

Yes, they will be applied twice, but that shouldn't be a problem. If we
want to have this changed in Hardy (StableReleaseUpdate) then the change
has to be minimal. These things have been changed again upstream and
will look different in Intrepid. Which reminds me that I already have
installed the
Never mind, it was pm-utils I had upgraded, and not acpi-support. Please
also see bug #89269, I wonder if this bug is a duplicate of that one.

Daniel Hahler, you worked on this AFAICS: Doesn't it make sense to call
$LAPTOP_MODE start _after_ the hdparm settings in /etc/acpi/power.sh?

I agree with Roy description.
Everything worked fine under Gutsy with kernel 2-6-22-14, I have just upgraded
my kernel : installing 2-6-24-16.
It fixes my resume problem, but now laptop-mode is broken.

Yes, this is horribly broken in Ubuntu 8.04. I guess it would help if
power.sh does its settings _before_ it calls laptop_mode, so that
laptop_mode's settings will prevail. Please test the patch and report
whether it helps for you.
** Attachment added: call laptop_mode *after* doing its own power
Sorry Tormod, your script seems not be complete...
In fact power.sh doen't really call laptop mode, it call two functions
defined at the beginning of the script: laptop_mode_enable and
laptop_mode_disable

AFAICS, this is the same in Hardy. I am not sure how much power.sh is in
use, but it looks wrong as it is.

Indeed! I was just about to report this bug and found this one. Current
power.sh does not respect configurations in laptop-mode.conf on: when to
enable, hdparm -B value, and hdparm -S value. Why no just leave
decisions to laptop-mode.conf and make things NOT that ambiguous!

Both of these issues still exist in Feisty. Is there anything blocking
the supplied path being applied?
