Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.45-1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

it seems that the auto-hibernation feature of laptop-mode-tools (configurable
via /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/auto-hibernate.conf) does not work with my laptop
(ThinkPad X40) any more. It worked a while ago, but as I have not used 
this option for some time, I am not sure when it stopped working.

I tried several settings for AUTO_HIBERNATION_BATTERY_CHARGE_PERCENT 
(as high as 20) and also enabling AUTO_HIBERNATION_ON_CRITICAL_BATTERY_LEVEL. 
Regardless of these settings, the system does not exectute the command set 
in HIBERNATE_COMMAND but just turns off (no regular shutdown, just switched
off) as the battery runs down. 

If I remember correctly, laptop-mode is called via acpid when a battery event
is caught, checks the battery state and acts accordingly. 
So I tried running acpid in debug mode (for about 20 minutes, on battery), 
but I only got battery events when (un)plugging the AC-adapter. 
During normal system operation, I did not see any battery events at all. 

When I unplug the AC-adapter while the battery is below 
AUTO_HIBERNATION_BATTERY_CHARGE_PERCENT, I get a battery
event and HIBERNATE_COMMAND is executed. When just
running on battery, it does not seem to work. Is there a way of 
triggering the battery events without plugging in  the AC-adapter?

I recently got a new battery for this system, maybe the problem is related 
to that? I cannot test the old battery as it does not work anymore.
If more information is required, I will gladly supply it.

Thanks in advance for your help,

soenke
