In order to help find all possible ways that the hard drive spindown time could be changed, I have attached the output of the following commands:
sudo find /etc -type f | sudo xargs grep -i ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE > scripts-that-involve-laptop-mode-setting.txt sudo find /etc -type f | sudo xargs grep -i hdparm > scripts-that-use-hdparm.txt sudo find /etc -type f | sudo xargs grep -i laptop_mode > scripts-that-use-laptop-mode.txt sudo find /etc -type f | sudo xargs grep -i /etc/default/acpi-support > scripts-that-source-acpi-support.txt I will investigate each of the scripts listed in these files, and determine what changes each one makes, when it makes them, and under what conditions. I will report back, probably later today. However, since I don't have every package installed, these cannot possibly be full lists. I would recommend that you run the same commands on your own computer and see what files they turn up. ** Attachment added: "List of files with various key words in them." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10186556/xscripts-that-do-stuff.txt -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
