Can't disable laptop-mode in 12.04
laptop-mode is spinning my hard drive up and down too often. I've tried laptop-mode-tools to try and configure this but i couldnt get it to work. I am now trying to diable laptop-mode but it doesn't seem to be working.
I've set 'LAPTOP-MODE=false' in /etc/default/
but when i do 'sudo cat /proc/sys/
(please note i'm quite new to linux :-s )
Thanks

> spinning my hard drive up and down too often
It's a known bug 952556 and in progress for precise.
In the meantime laptop-mode-tools must be turned off or removed.
Workarounds start from #20
e.g. in
/etc/hdparm.conf
add
apm_battery = 128
## it's the standard value for battery mode.
If laptop-mode-tools are installed hdparm configuration won't be responsible.
Hdparm doesn't control if laptop-mode really applies apm settings.
Try in /etc/default/
ENABLE_

Forgot to mention acpi-support is actually deprecated.

Thanks Sam_
This solved my problem. After reading the bug report I set:
apm_battery=127
and
-S 24 for /dev/sda
Thanks
