Of course he probably won't be so happy when finds out that Ubuntu has
destroyed his Laptop hard disk.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
Of course, the bug is almost 3 months old, and they haven't even issued a
temporary patch (though there is a workaround). Anyone that is unaware of
this problem will just be killing their hard drive becaus Ubuntu hasn't
taken the intiative to issue a patch to disable laptop mode until a
permanent solution is available.
