[Desktop-packages] [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 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.

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 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.

[Desktop-packages] [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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
