I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and I did this to solve the problem: On Configuration Editor (gconf-editor) I've set the followed keys: /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy (false) /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_low (15) /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_critical (12) /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_action (10) /apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/critical_battery (hibernate)
This means that when my battery reaches 15% GPM will show a "low battery warning", at 12% it will show a "Critical battery warning" and at 10% it will put my system to hibernate. I have a li-ion battery and use 10% to prevent damage to it. I think that there should be a way to set these values directly on GPM, not just via gconf-editor -- [Gutsy] Action on critical battery isn't triggered - regression https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
