Correction regarding the desktop computer: initial value of "Device- initiated interface power management" is enabled and disabled when the harddrive-hook is run manually.
I've downgraded pm-utils to the version in lucid (1.3.0-1ubuntu1) on both computers and everything is as it used to be before the update: *) On the laptop, the initial APM_level is set to 254 while on main power and to 128 when running on battery. *) On the workstation, the write cache is enabled and "Device-initiated interface power management" is disabled. -- [maverick] HD spins down all the time on AC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606706 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
