I see now that it fails to suspend after all. The patch i've committed does add the option to suspend, and gnome-control-center correctly updates the setting in dconf. The critical power level notification also tells that the machine is going to "suspend very soon". But the machine shuts down instead of suspending. It seems this is related to bug #160200, and the underlaying issue is probably in acpi.
As for now, all other options than "shut down" seems useless. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: Joakim Langvand (jlangvand) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993440 Title: No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/993440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
