19 Argh, that's annoying. Thanks for the information. O well, first I
20 setuid'ed hdparm to make it work as a user, then I reverted that back as I
21 started it in /etc/init.d/local, and now I'm again setuid'ing it so I can
22 set the settings from /etc/conf.d/hdparm in ~/.kde4/Autostart/.

24 I filed a bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248905
25 You might want to vote for it so it gets some attention and will hopefully
26 be fixed soon.
