https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/blob/master/usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/pcie-aspm Do you have this file /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy ? Can you try "echo default > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy" manually?

Same error. If I try to change manually: "/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy" "/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy" E667: Fsync failed WARNING: Original file may be lost or damaged don't quit the editor until the file is successfully written! Thank you!
looks like you cannot write into that file, unless you've set pci_aspm=force see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131/comments/99
Thank you Manuel Rüger, pci_aspm=force did the trick.
Thanks mrueg, Closing.
Please don't close it as invalid. The problem still exists. Maybe it is better to disable pcie-aspm by default. Not everyone wants to override kernel's aspm settings via a grub boot parameter.

OK... although upstream bug tracker should be used to monitor these kind of things... should I add a patch to disable this by default?
I've filled a bug upstream now: https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/issues/9 An easy patch would be passing every output of the echo commands to /dev/null as it gets logged via the log commands anyway.
Created attachment 343486 [details] silence-stderr.patch If pcie_aspm=force isn't active, the module won't do anything except being noisy. At least this will silence stderr.
Thank you! Fixed in laptop-mode-tools-1.63-r1
