Unless I enable hibernation, when power drops critically low Ubuntu offers only one option: sudden death. And I don't find that out until after installation. (More precisely: I find out the first time I reach the low-power threshold and Ubuntu suddenly just quits.)
And if, then, I'd want hibernation and haven't already made a swap partition big enough to accommodate it, I now have to monkey with my partitions. Not friendly. I'd like the Suspend option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993440 Title: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The gnome-control-center power UI offers 2 options for "When power is critically low": Hibernate and Power Off. There should be a 'Suspend' option as well, for a couple reasons: 1) Some people (like me) want their computer to suspend when it reaches a critical low-battery state 2) We offer 'Suspend' as an option for the lid closed action, so we should offer it as a critical battery option for consistency (Note that neither hibernate nor power off is selected by default in the "When power is critically low" combobox on a fresh install. Instead the combobox has no selection at all. This is probably a separate bug) To reproduce: 1) Launch the Power settings app 1a) Observe the "When power is critically low" combobox; nothing is selected 2) Click the "When power is critically low" combobox Expected results: Suspend is an option for critical-battery action Actual results: Suspend is not an option for critical-battery action ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed May 2 13:46:02 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta amd64 (20100901.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-01-26 (96 days ago) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu2 gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu5 indicator-datetime 0.3.94-0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
