After reviewing this bug and bug 223879, I agree that pm-utils needs to be fixed too (and confirmed that with Steve Langasek on IRC).
Nevertheless, notwithstanding some side-effects on certain pieces of hardware that are probably not entirely resolvable, I think that the acpi-support package in hardy-proposed is on balance a significant improvement. It is true that until pm-utils is fixed, power management will be reset on suspend/resume; nevertheless this is better than it being wrong across the board. I've raised the priority of the pm-utils task on this bug as high as it will go, assigned it to Steve, and targeted it for 8.04.3. I expect that it can in fact be dealt with well before that. ** Changed in: pm-utils (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided => Critical Assignee: (unassigned) => Steve Langasek (vorlon) Status: New => Triaged Target: None => ubuntu-8.04.3 -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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
