Same problem as before... :( But this time I was using the pbbuttonsd 0.5.10-1 package.
To summarize, the battery of my PowerBook G4 got too low and the machine was put into sleep. I closed the lid, changed the battery, but when I reopened the lid, I noticed that the PowerBook was in fact off. And when I switched it on, the clock was set back to 1904-01-01. Here's a /var/log/syslog excerpt: [...] Apr 12 20:31:51 ay pwrctl-local: sleep battery Jan 1 00:15:29 ay syslogd 1.4.1#10: restart (remote reception). [...] The default threshold (why isn't it configurable?) should be changed until a more reliable way is used. I've done some tests with the second battery, and I noticed that the remaining time could dramatically decrease when activity changes. For instance, in a few seconds, for /proc/pmu/battery_0, I came from: flags : 00000001 charge : 902 max_charge : 2232 current : -799 voltage : 14383 time rem. : 4064 to: flags : 00000001 charge : 896 max_charge : 2232 current : -1078 voltage : 14398 time rem. : 2992 and a bit later: flags : 00000001 charge : 868 max_charge : 2232 current : -759 voltage : 14524 time rem. : 4116 -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn / RISC OS / ARM, free software, YP17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
