If you have a Chromebook, one of the files that gets installed via their laptop-mode-tools is /etc/laptop-mode-tools/conf.d/board-specific/usb-autosuspend.conf

The code in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode looks at /etc/laptop-mode-tools/conf.d/board-specific*

So what happens is if you have e.g. that usb-autosuspend.conf file, there are messages printed when starting or stopping the service:

rose init.d # /etc/init.d/laptop_mode restart
 * Stopping laptop_mode ...
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode: line 239: .: /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/board-specific: is a directory                                                                                                                                  [ ok ]
 * Starting laptop_mode ...
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode: line 239: .: /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/board-specific: is a directory

Upstream has fixed it in the commit linked in the URL, by only looking for CONF/*.conf (iirc)  This fixes the issue and you see:

rose init.d # /etc/init.d/laptop_mode restart
 * Stopping laptop_mode ...                                                                                                                                                                                                 [ ok ]
 * Starting laptop_mode ...

Reproducible: Always
