Why have you filed it against 1.70 when the latest version in Debian
testing/unstable is 1.71 ?

This severity is unjustified. There are many many users of Laptop Mode Tools and
I've not heard of any serious issue as such.

Hmmm. Were you able to find the cause why your root file system was being
mounted read-only ? This to me sounds like your operating system was not
shutdown clean, and on consecutive reboot, it found the file system
inconsistent.


WHat does your file system layout look like ?
Can you give the output of `df -h` and `mount` ?

It could just be that laptop-mode-tools is uncovering some bug elsewhere. But
this still needs to be investigated first.

Ah. Now I see why you filed against 1.70-2 :-)

In its current form for this bug report, unfortunately there isn't enough
information for me to investigate.

What I can give you is some data points.

I use Laptop Mode Tools on all my machines without any issues (version 1.71).
My laptop is mostly run on Battery. I only charge it when it is sleeping. So
your "Boot on Battery" example is not correct because I've been able to run
without any issues.


Are you good with syslog and remote logging ?
What you could do in this case is to install rsyslog and enable remote logging
to a different machine. And then share those logs.

If you are on systemd, systemd-journald must have a similar remote logging
mechanism. You could try that too.

I am afraid but without any logs it is hard for me to do any diagnosis.
