So, you don't have laptop-mode package installed, and your
laptop-detect seems to think you DO NOT have a laptop.  Are you sure
the power management is due to being a laptop?  It could just be
standard power management settings for desktops.  Wonder why it didn't
detect a laptop.  You can see what laptop-mode does for yourself, it
is just a shell script...

Right.  The config file is not there since you don't have that package
installed.

OK, chmodding them may work.  However, did you try using a -server
kernel rather than a -generic?

$ sudo aptitude install linux-server
