Description Dirk Mueller 2006-02-02 11:29:20 UTC 
/proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode stays 0 all the time, even when going to battery mode. Not sure if powersave is supposed to do that or hal or acpid or whatever.
Comment 1 Thomas Renninger 2006-02-02 11:45:40 UTC 
The "dirty_buffer right back time"?
Seife, IIRC you've played a lot with that and we touched this, don't know whether there changed anything...
Comment 2 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2006-02-02 12:42:50 UTC 
did you enable it?

So set DEBUG=15 and retry (no need to restart the daemon, for the scripts it will be effective immediately and save you from lots of daemon-debug-chatter)
