In fact there is no need for a patch, this behavior is controlled by laptop-mode. A desktop pc is something like a laptop with ac power adapter and if you want that acpi don't control hard drives apm you should edit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf and set CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT from 1 to 0.
The real problem is very big, I think the whole acpi subsystem is a little messy. For example, is defined when a computer is a laptop but in some scripts for example the ones involved here don't try to see if it's a laptop with ac batt or a normal pc. I wish with the new API for devices DeviceKit the hardware administration in gnu/linux will become more powerful and also coherent design. -- acpi-support's 90-hdparm.sh overwrites hdparm.conf's apm settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
