[Bug 60442] Re: Dual / Two Batteries, shutdown on empty expansion battery. (GPM does not recognises second battery on hotplug)
This bug or a related problems appears to affect Ubuntu up to 13.10 Saucy. My configuration is a Sony Vaio Pro SVP13 with extended battery. Both batteries were present when the computer was booted, so the issue is not related to hotpluggin. Hibernation is not supported on this laptop and was not used, so the issue is not related to hibernate-resume. Both batteries can be charged and as long as both are not empty, everything works as expected. However, when one becomes, empty, Ubuntu is shut down (due to critical battery). The computer can be restarted and works fine with from the 2nd battery. However, if the laptop is put to sleep, after resume, Ubuntu decides that the computer must be shut down immediately, which leads to data loss.

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty on an Asus R1F(and similarly, my father's Asus R1E). I has a hotswap bay with an extra battery. It works fine when the battery runs down with the computer is on, but shuts down when you turn on the computer. ie: Battery1 - 90% Battery2 - 0% (but convenient to leave in the computer) When I turn on the computer, the power thing pops up saying the battery level is critical and then turns off, even though battery1 is fine. It only does this as you turn on the computer; if i take battery2 out start the computer, then put it back in after ubuntu has settled, then its all ok (thats what i've been doing since feisty). That system works fine if you know battery2 is dead, but its frustrating if you dont know and turn around just in time to see the computer turning off.

This is a serious thing to allow in a stable release. The first many users are going to see of this is their notebook will shutdown without warning in the middle of some vital work. Restarting their notebook and it will continue as normal (on second battery). It may take some users MANY cycles to realize there is a problem. Much important work may be lost and stability feeling of ubuntu will be badly harmed. This is definitely something that should be in the stable release.

I would like to point out that the fix mentioned in upstream bug only addresses less problematic part of this issue (bug 62625), but does not fix the root cause of this bug or implement a workaround for it. This is why the upstream bug is not closed yet. We need to document the workaround for the users of problematic HW that is exposed to remaining_time bug. The workaround is to change gnome-power-manager config to use percentage charged instead of remaining time for automatic actions. See my previous comment regarding that. I think this should go in release notes of Edgy. If we are overly concerned by this behaviour (as Greg is in previous post), we could reconsider changing default value in gconf for this and use percentage charged as default. -- Dual / Two Batteries, shutdown on empty expansion battery.

[Bug 60442] Re: Dual / Two Batteries, shutdown on empty expansion battery. (GPM does not recognises second battery on hotplug)
It seems this is more widely spread problem which causes problems both for gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) as well as guidance-power-manager (Kubuntu). It looks like that some ACPI events (like unplug of AC, one battery getting empty, or even eject of CD...) can cause battery remaining_time to be reset or at least being recalculated. Since gnome (at least by default) uses remaining_time property for critical action handling, this can cause automatic action (like hibernation or shutdown). In KDE, we have CHARGE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD at 50% (which is a bit high) which prevents critical action if charged above that level. Related bugs with notes when the action is triggered: - bug 60442: gnome: one of two batteries is completely discharged (flat) - bug 64752: kde: one of two batteries is completely discharged (flat) - bug 67180: gnome: on unplug of AC - bug 67081: kde: on CD load (may be unrelated) -- Dual / Two Batteries, shutdown on empty expansion battery.

[Bug 60442] Re: Dual / Two Batteries, shutdown on empty expansion battery. (GPM does not recognises second battery on hotplug)
The problem is that HAL is saying that you have only 2 sec left (remaining), even though it is claiming couple of debugs before that you have 9654 seconds left. It is very unlikely that we can do a quick hack for edgy to address this for Edgy released (unless upstream author finds some elegant solution), but since percentage_charge looks to be sane, it would probably make sense to switch back to using percentage instead of remaining time for warnings.

Roland, I two was a little sceptical that my problem (which is the same as yours) was related to hot plugging of batteries. But the investigations above have shown that there is at least another issue related to hotplug and the batteries. So it seams a unlikely coincidence that the two new issues with batteries are unrelated but they may be.
