This affects me too, on an MSI X340. Under both Karmic and Lucid, immediately after pulling the plug, it would tell me I only have 2 minutes of battery power remaining. Under Karmic, it was merely annoying...
Under Lucid, it pops up a dialogue box telling me the system is critically low on power and will shut down. And then shuts down, *no matter whether I hit OK or Cancel in the dialogue box*, and even if the time estimate has corrected itself and is now showing the expected 2.5 hours of battery life remaining! I'm going to go use the use_time_for_policy workaround now, but surely the system should ignore blatantly false time estimates (2 minutes estimated, but battery at 90%)? -- 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
