On second thought the right place to put the message is where the test
for that is now:
if [ x$ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE = xfalse ]; then
echo "You need to set ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true in
/etc/default/acpi-support"
exit 0;
fi

You have my support on this, but the message should not be shown if it's
actually enabled.
# FIXME: this shouldn't be configured there
if [ -f /etc/default/acpi-support ]; then
. /etc/default/acpi-support;
if ! $ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE; then
echo "You need to set ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true
This is trivially easy, just give the user some hints as to why this
isn't enabled by default rather than silently fail. Also, perhaps this
should be enabled for the netbook-remix variant, since these all use
more modern hardware?
Change this in /etc/init.d/laptop-mode:

The point is that the /etc/init.d script is not meant to be a way to
start and stop the "laptop mode". When AC adapters are (un)plugged etc,
the /usr/sbin/laptop_mode script is run and turns on/off the mode (and
adjusts settings) accordingly (only if laptop mode is enabled by the
/var/run/laptop-mo
Also
/etc/init.d/laptop-mode status
fails to report anything. It just returns silently.
This and the original issue are due to a test for ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE in line 32
in /etc/init.d./laptop-mode , which happens too early.
Rather this test should only occur in the start) and restart) cases, IMHO.
I filed a patch for the missing "sudo update-rc.d laptop-mode defaults
99" in bug #127273.
Anyway, rumours go that laptop-mode-tools is going to be ditched from

Some more verbosity or documentation seems to be needed, so that users
don't have to reverse-engineer a whole chain of scripts and files to get
it going.
