[Bug 993440] Re: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
I confirm this bug for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. There should be an option to select suspend. Suspend is the default. When I select shutdown, I can't set it back to suspend! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 993440] Re: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 993440] Re: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
This seems particularly pressing since Hibernate is disabled by default, so only the 'Power off' option can be selected. I was caught by this the other day (on Quantal) - I saw my battery getting low, and assumed it would suspend or hibernate, but when I plugged it back in and turned it on, I found it had completely shut down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 993440] Re: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
I see now that it fails to suspend after all. The patch i've committed does add the option to suspend, and gnome-control-center correctly updates the setting in dconf. The critical power level notification also tells that the machine is going to suspend very soon. But the machine shuts down instead of suspending. It seems this is related to bug #160200, and the underlaying issue is probably in acpi. As for now, all other options than shut down seems useless. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: Joakim Langvand (jlangvand) = (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 993440] Re: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
Apparently, dconf-editor can be used to tweak lower-level power settings directly (see org-gnome-settings-daemon-plugins-power), but: 1) I haven't confirmed yet that it does, in fact, resolve this particular issue (suspend on low battery), although some of the other settings have taken effect 2) the official power settings dialogue is *extremely* spartan 3) having to use dconf-editor to configure the system is like having to use regedit to do the same on Windows: it makes no sense -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 993440] Re: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI
As suspend is the default behaviour it clearly should be in the menu otherwise if you change it you can't change it back. Also as power off doesn't save state there is nothing to lose from suspending and hopefully having time to find a power socket rather than powering off. Ideally there should also be a Do Nothing option as well to cope with hardware that misreports the low battery condition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The Do Nothing option does seem to be supported if you don't use the gui for configuration.

Thank you for your bug report, you probably don't want to suspend when the battery is almost empty since it will keep using power and drop off soon after that ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I do want it to suspend, that gives me a few hours to find power, swap in a new battery, etc. I understand and am willing to accept the risk of data loss in this situation.
