Ubuntu 11.10 (which the OP is using) is using Gnome 3 -- gnome apps have migrated from gconf to Gsettings (with dconf backend). The dconf backend is binary, so you won't be able to directly change it from a text editor. If you have dconf-editor installed, navigate to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power in the left pane and you can edit the power configuration in the right pane. Alternatively, you can also use gsettings from the command line. gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power will list all the keys and their values under this schema. If you want to change a value of a key, say percentage-critical : gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-critical 10 You will find description of the keys here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/data/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.gschema.xml.in.in Note: You should also set use-time-for-policy key to false if you use percentage.
