Me too. 9.10 on an ASUS 900 netbook. I have tried hibernate and shutdown when power critically low, but the machine just dies without warning when the battery gets low.
I get the low capacity warning on boot up too (though the battery seems fine) I had neither of these problems with the previous release of Ubuntu (8.04) -- on battery option 'when battery is critically low shutdown' is not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442358 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
