I configured my installation of Laptop Mode Tools to enable SATA powersave at all times, because the fan runs at maximum speed without it on.  When I unplug the power connector, it works great--SATA powersave is on (as reported by powertop).  But when the laptop is plugged in, SATA powersave turns off, even though I (see config file below) explicitly told it to stay on!  What am I d

I'm currently using a laptop as my computer for various reasons I'd rather not get into.

Hello,I installed the laptop-mode-tools to control my external harddrive. I followed closely the wiki and I managed to configure the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf exactly, it is explained in the wiki. It works (kind of) but I don't know this is the right behaviour.

I have pm-utils and laptop-mode-tools on the same system, but I use pm-utils just for suspend and hibernate.  I am fairly sure they are both just front ends for the same back end programs that actually manipulate power settings.  You can use both, but I don't see how it would really benefit you.  If you are seeing a power savings by using both, it is likely just because you are
