Public bug reported: After upgrading to KDE 4.11.2 in Kubuntu 13.10, the system started to automatically shutdown when on battery and one of the two batteries is low or dead even though the other battery is fine.
Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have 2 batteries 2. Drain one Actual Results: System constantly shutsdown until plugged in or the dead battery is removed. Expected Results: The system does not shutdown just because one of the systems batteries is dead. This is a very frustrating, reoccurring bug with power management and it seems that the current system looks at batteries individually instead of working on a summation of all batteries attached to a system. Another way of testing this might be to use a laptop plugged into a UPS although I can't remember if the battery management system monitors those batteries or if it was just the gnome power manager version that did (wishlist item if KDE's doesn't). ** Affects: kdebase-workspace Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: kde-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #325707 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325707 ** Also affects: kdebase-workspace via https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325707 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236013 Title: power management automatically shuts the system down when second battery is low/dead even if the other battery is fine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/1236013/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
