Bug Description

When I resume my laptop on battery power, laptop mode gets enabled -- the disk spins down and spins up when necessary. If I then plug in the AC adapter, laptop mode should be disabled but isn't -- my disk keeps spinning up and down all the time.

Ubuntu Edgy here. I do not know which package is responsible for managing laptop mode -- acpi-support or gnome-power-manager.

gnome-power-manager manages this if it is enabled. acpi-support checks for gnome-power-manager and defers to gpm when gpm is running.

I also have this problem.

Ciao!

I take this back. /etc/acpi/power.sh is run regardless of gnome-power-manager. It may be the case that /etc/defaults/acpi-support does not have ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true turned on.

There is a related bug, where the acpi-support doesn't run on suspend/resume because gnome-power-manager is running. Because of that, laptop-mode isn't run.

Ciao!

Is this still a problem in Gutsy or Hardy?

Closing the bug because of missing feedback. Please reopen if necessary, but have a look at bug 74394 first (although that looks like the opposite problem).
