Bug Description
Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools
Please update Laptop Mode Tools to the latest version provided by upstream: 1.52.
* Feature Freeze Exception details: Karmic *
Rationale for this FFE: Users of laptops are going to need certain modifications delivered from 1.47, the current version in the main repository, to 1.52, notably these:
Bugs fixed: bugs about wireless device power management (5 fixes), Ethernet speed management (5 fixes), USB (2 fixes), an init script order fix and a hibernation fix. Under the hood, syntax error fixes for the shell scripts.
New features: handling of udevinfo 140's output; adding an option to blacklist broken USB devices from power management; adding support for the Eee PC's FSB control, useful for Ubuntu UNR; finer-grained Laptop Mode Tools debug mode; support for more power management daemons; syslog logging.
Testing done: installed the package, checked that the init script was indeed reordered to 99 (and present), ran /usr/sbin/
This package is tested and ready, but currently unsigned. I will research into signing the package if this FFE is approved.
Thanks for your time :)
