Ok, the messages for low and critical battery are now displayed on the Dell Latitude D630 and the system shuts down/hibernates when the battery reaches the set mininum. To achieve this, I had to go through the following steps: In gconf-editor: uncheck /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy. In gconf-editor: set the percentage values at /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds to higher levels, e.g. 90, 80 and 70. Reboot. In gconf-editor: set the percentage values at /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds to reasonable levels, e.g. 10, 5 and 3.
The message that ought to appear when the battery is fully charged, is still not displayed, thought (but it isn't much of a problem either). -- [Gutsy] gnome-power-manager does not display notifications of any kind https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154003 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
