Package: laptop-mode-tools Version: 1.36-1 Severity: normal Hi Bart :)
I have been wanting to make this bug-report for some time, however I have been waiting for 2.6.24 to filter into testing (just to be sure) before I made it. On my system at least, this is trivially easy and perfectly reliable to replicate and it breaks down like this. I use LMT to manage more or less just my disk in my Thinkpad X40 laptop. I have stayed overall pretty faithful to the suggested settings in the configuration file, however of paramount importance for me is that while on battery power, the disk is to spin down fairly quickly and as often as possible. It appears to me that if I boot the laptop on its battery, or, if I boot the laptop on AC and then pull the cord and run on battery, laptop-mode-tools settings do indeed managed my hard disk correctly and spin down. My little disk (I'm too scared to check the load count!) has just spun down now and therefore this machine is very quiet; it is obvious to me when it has spun down. Anyhow, back to the problem. If everthing is working properly and I'm on battery power and the disk is spinning down, should I suspend or hibernate this machine, upon resuming, spinning down will no longer function. >From my tests I'm pretty sure as far as the system is concerned (and the kernel) that it recognises it is using its battery (indeed the auto-hibernate in powersaved works fine still) when I have resumed so that can't be the problem. That said though, there does seem to be some issue here and it's one that hopefully has straightforward solution. When resuming from S3 or S4, is the configuration file for laptop-mode-tools re-applied again? It would seem from my observations that the bug is rooted in this point. Let me know what I can do to get you any information you need; I have a couple of weeks now where I'm off and could work on this. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages laptop-mode-tools depends on: ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii util-linux 2.13.1-2 Miscellaneous system utilities Versions of packages laptop-mode-tools recommends: ii acpid 1.0.4-7.1 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii hdparm 8.3-1 tune hard disk parameters for high pn sdparm <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
