This procedure fixed it for me (Advent 4211 which is a wind clone): Press Ctrl-Alt-F2 and use the pop-up to launch gconf-editor. Navigate to Apps / gnome-power-manager / general. De-select the option use_time_for_policy.
No need to restart, just close the config editor. I read in another forum thread that the same problem / workround also work on a Dell Vostro 1310. -- Power manager mistakenly thinks my battery power is critically low, and hibernates -- MSI Wind U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
