I think "basic obvious functionality" is meant to be provided by pm- utils, indicator-applet and so on without having laptop-mode-tools installed. laptop-mode-tools is in universe and not part of a default installation. Maintaining compatibility with laptop-mode-tools has therefore low or no priority in the development of the standard components, which probably makes it very difficult for the laptop-mode- tools developers to make it play together with those. The package install conflict between pm-utils and laptop-mode-tools is an indication that you are on your own if you install laptop-mode-tools, since clearly the whole Ubuntu desktop relies on pm-utils being installed. laptop- mode-tools is not designed as a replacement of pm-utils.
I would encourage you to file bugs on pm-utils etc if they do not provide the functionality that one should expect of a modern operating system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681488 Title: laptop-mode-tools deletes Suspend/Hibernate buttons from Indicator Applet Session -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
