Alfrenovsky The 'drain in 10 minutes' limit might still gives us a potential problem between 10 minutes battery life left and the 2 minutes that is the normal shutdown point on machines that have intermediate readings.
A delay of 30 secs would use some of the hibernate time and need the standard 120 seconds to be increased to say 150 secs so neither are perfect. I tried a time as short as 10 ms on Jauntyin 'invalid-timeout' and could not reproduce the effect there so I am not sure we have got to the bottom of it. i suspect the answer will be obvious to the writers of upower and gnome-power-manager as it has obviously been an issue in the past and many others have found it and the ' use_time_for_policy' fudge as shown by a google search for use_time_for_policy . The output of a script such as yours on a higher time resolution for various machines may help them set suitable default parameters if they can not make them available via the Configure Editor. By the way, I have put a way of making Configure Editor available via the Applications menu and avoiding using a terminal on my 'Wind' web page at www.pcurtis.com/wind.htm#critical_power for users who are frightened of the terminal (95%?!) -- Power manager mistakenly thinks my battery power is critically low, and hibernates -- MSI Wind U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558627 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
