Why cant the gpm poll the events a few times after a specific event for some interval of time and then make a decision as to what to do. 3-4 seconds is enough for the power-surge to correct itself right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516023 Title: "Critcally low" shown on unplug at 100% full -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 516023] Re: "Critcally low" shown on unplug at 100% full
If g-p-m would just perform even a slight filter for extreme outliers in its data, this would be solved. I have a Medion Akoya (MSI Wind rebrand), and yes whenever I unplug (even after fully charging), apparently the battery reports an extreme power surge (not even sure if it's real, it could also just be a glitch). Not only does this trigger notifications that the battery is almost empty when it's clearly not, it also throws off the scale of the graphs in the power-statistics window, and the discharge profile has a bunch of erroneous peaks in it. Filtering them out would be fairly trivial. My normal power consumption seems to hover between 10W and 14W, while the typical peak values generated on unplugging the cable always is in the range of 710-720W. I don't think there are any normal circumstances under which a battery should/would report such a huge leap in power usage, not even when it's near the end of its lifetime and almost immediately dies. BTW in a related question, does anyone know where g-p-m stores its "charge profile" and "discharge profile" data? I looked for it in several places, without luck. I want to see and try if I can manually remove the huge peak values that are in the discharge profile, because right now it looks like a flat line with two or three peaks towering out of it (because of the scaling of the peaks). -- "Critcally low" shown on unplug at 100% full https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well the underlying cause is the same between these two bugs, so perhaps a g-p-m task on the other one would be the right solution here? I'm not sure whether g-p-m should do sanity checking here: what if your battery really will die almost immediately upon unplugging? I've had a laptop that would do that. -- "Critcally low" shown on unplug at 100% full https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

David: regardless of how crap/invalid the incoming data might be, g-p-m needs to be able to sanity check _itself_ and not generate notifications in illogical situations (eg. 100% full). -- "Critcally low" shown on unplug at 100% full https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The drawback of this solution in my case at least is that I have to use the command after every reboot.

Today I search in newest bugs for gnome-power-manager and found several similar cases. At least those new bugs sound very similar. I decided to post here what I discover till now. There are laptops that have enormous peak in energy consumption while being plug to or unplugged from AC power. Look at screenshoot from gnome-power-statistic: energy-rate is more then 0,7kW When cable was unplugged calculated time-to-empty is wrong and very small. But g-p-m reacts on this event and do what is set in prefs. To avoid suspend or hibernating I turn off time policy: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy false In this case 'Critical low battery' event not happen because percentage is correct. But 'Battery discharging' notification still shows wrong minutes and right percentage: 1 minute of battery power remaining (99%) Actually this energy-rate jump not g-p-m related (I filled bug 531190 against upower), but anyway this behavior of g-p-m is very annoying.
