It's interesting to know that current acpi-support in Debian unstable (1.109-5) has this comment in /etc/default/acpi-support:
# Note: to enable "laptop mode" (to spin down your hard drive for longer # periods of time), install the laptop-mode-tools package and configure # it in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf. # # (Note to upgraders: earlier versions of the acpi-support package contained # an option to enable/disable laptop mode. This option has never actually # worked, and for that reason it has been removed.) -- [intrepid] acpi-support should let laptop-mode-tools run properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250938 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
