THE BUG IS: The file /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm owned by package "hdparm" version 9.15-1ubuntu9 in lucid (32-bit) checks for presence of laptop-mode-tools at the wrong location on the disk, then proceeds to manage the APM setting for the hard drive itself when laptop-mode-tools should be handling it.
Specifically, the files /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and /var/run/laptop-mode- tools/enabled have AFAICT been deprecated/moved. The bash script excerpt in my previous comment (which comes from the described file) includes the uses of these paths that urgently need correcting. ** Changed in: hdparm (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => In Progress -- [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568120 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
