Package: laptop-mode-tools Version: 1.22-1 Severity: important Tags: patch My laptop has lately been refusing to activate laptop mode. Don't know when this started, just noticed it. When run manually, "laptop_mode start" reports that it is "deactivating data loss sensitive features". Verbose mode reveals that it thinks the battery is too low.
My laptop reports battery level in mWh, as opposed to mAh. There is a bug in the laptop_mode script that causes the script to think the battery is low when it really isn't, but only when the units are mWh. The cause is a typo on line 618 of the script, where the test for remaining power has a '-lt' where it should be a '-gt'. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.6-centrino Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) laptop-mode-tools depends on no packages.
