[SOLVED] How to make Laptop-Mode doesnt resume after suspend

[AbtZ]

I would like to create a script similar to what is suggested in this thread.

Does anyone know what it should look like, and where I should put it?

To address excessive load cycling I followed the guide on the Ubuntu Wiki.

Well, that's what you get for posting when you really should be sleeping. The thread title is stupid and totally misleading; the "doesnt" shouldn't be in it.

In any case, I managed to solve the problem myself. I created a script

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/10laptopmoderestart

with the code

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
    hibernate)
        /etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
        ;;
    suspend)
        /etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
        ;;
    thaw)
        /etc/init.d/laptop-mode start
        ;;
    resume)
        /etc/init.d/laptop-mode start
        ;;
    *)
        echo Something is not right.
        ;;
esac

Then I made it executable with

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/10laptopmoderestart

Done! laptop mode works as intended, and restarts after resuming from suspend/hibernate

Hi!

I don't know much about writing scripts. Could someone explain what is the purpose of "case $1" and "esac" in this script?

It is a way to avoid nested "if" statements. "case" is the beginning of such a switch, "esac" signifies its end.

Hi!

Ok, thanks for the information.

Nope. Thanks for the tip, but on my HP laptop, this does not work...

[AbtZ]

I did this on Hardy. Maybe it works differently in Intrepid?

[kaurman]

shouldn't there be a - in the filename? Like this 10-laptopmoderestart.

Don't think it matters. The numbers in the names are just to make the scripts execute in a certain order.

I know, but I thought that maybe the system gets confused if the number isn't separated in any way. You're probably right though, that it doesn't matter.
