I think this should rather be set in a power profile that changes this option and lots of others. laptop-mode-tools does this with LM_AC, NOLM_AC, LM_BATTERY. See /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf for more details. If you change change power profile manually it will probably change to something else quite soon since other programs seems to change this value. For example my laptop is almost always on 'performance' after waking up from suspend. There must be thoughts about this already, if you check gconf /apps/gnome-power-manager/cpufreq/ there are keys that define policy_ac and policy_battery. I can imagine there is work going on already to make laptop-mode-tools obsolete by instead adding all features to gnome-power-manager. Right now if you use laptop-mode-tools you have certain functions duplicated. On my HP laptop the brightness dimming doesn't work with g-p-m but does work with l-m-t so I use it for that function. -- Bad battery runtime in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
