Using the package laptop-mode-tools/laptop-mode I&#39;ve enabled it to spin=

down the platter drive after about 8 seconds of idle when I&#39;m not<br>
plugged into a battery, and just leave the drive running when I&#39;m<br>

Has anyone encountered this or a similar issue and has some advice on<br>
how to get laptop-mode to recognize the dock as wall power?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
