I can confirm the significance of the problem as long as hibernate
cannot be guaranteed to work reliably on all hardware platforms.
It seems Suspend works more often and can help to keep the system long
enough available when the battery is at a critical level.
The user should have the option to
Importance Low is ridiculous. This can cause data loss, as noted in
comment 9, and hence should be critical.
And please, it's been almost four years!
By the way, there was a time suspend used to work (I'm not sure if it was
available in the selector though, or just the default, but it

Title:
No suspend option for critical battery state in power
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!

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
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
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

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)
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
The Do Nothing option does seem to be supported if you don't use the
gui for configuration. To set it from the command line use
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-
action 'nothing'
You can also say 'suspend' instead of 'nothing' to meet the original
posters

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

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. Perhaps I am the minority though?
