What is calling pm-powersave and accidentally triggering laptop mode?

Asked by Daniel Hahler

In Maverick, I'm facing bug #614876 and wonder what is calling "pm-powersave true" after all?

Apparently this is what is performing the "power saving, much too aggressive" setup.

Somehow, the caller of pm-powersave appears to accidentally pass "true" here probably.

A workaround that is not touching the root of the problem (which is also discussed as Bug #606706) but that might work is:

sudo hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda

assuming that your hard disk is named /dev/sda which it most certainly is on modern systems. Other candidades would be /dev/hda for IDE hard disks or /dev/sdb, /dev/hdb, /dev/sdc and so on for the second or third disk of your system. If it works leave a message here or attach a message saying that his works to the bug report since that would at least indicate that the problem is only trigggered once after every boot and might help finding the reason why it occours.

Can you help with this problem?
