I installed openSUSE 12.1 to give it a try on my Dell Latitude D820 with WD 500G hdd on it. Luckily I checked it almost right away and to my astonishment found that Load_Cycle_Count of drive gets 22 times increase in 15 minutes. The drive APM_level = 254, KDE Power Management settings are all set for Performance. I just can't believe it... This is several years back bug. And it was fixed at least for a couple of years back on all major distributions. I have currently installed on the same laptop: Ubuntu 11.10, Kubuntu 11.10, Xubuntu 11.10, Lubuntu 11.10, Fedora 16, SL 6.1, Majea 1, Debian Squeeze, and openSUSE 12.1. Neither of mentioned, but openSUSE, is suffering from this bug. And yet interestingly enough I do not see any complaints of the sort neither on this list, nor on forums. Folks, what's wrong with me? :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
