It is enabled by default (for battery) in laptop-mode.conf. So you only need to enable it manually in /etc/defaulut/acpi-support. But I agree, this does not belong in the acpi-support configuration.
** Changed in: laptop-mode-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - laptop-mode needs to be activated in two places + laptop-mode needs to be activated in /etc/default/acpi-support ** Description changed: Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools Laptop-mode won't be activated unless ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true is also set in /etc/default/acpi-support. (/etc/init./laptop-mode checks that) Therefor two places exist in ubuntu where disk-idleing (aka laptop-mode) needs to be anabled. The other is in laptop-mode.conf) It is suggested to separate the disk-ideling (aka laptop_mode) configuration from the acpi-support (button/event support) package and to remove this setting from /etc/default/acpi-support. - #244831, #244832, #244833, #244836 + bug #244831, bug #244832, bug #244833, bug #244836 (Leaving laptop-mode.conf for that) (The current laptop-mode disk-idleing approach seems to be a left-over from before the ubuntu-laptop-mode package was droped for laptop-mode- tools.) -- laptop-mode needs to be activated in /etc/default/acpi-support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244838 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
