Public bug reported: The Standard choice within a freshly installed Ubuntu is to: "Do nothing" if the battery reaches critical low level.
This choice already killed 3 of my batteries, because I forgot to change this to shut down. Then the laptop rund until the Battery was totally empty, which (especially in case of already slightly olde batteries) killed them. I can understand the need, that you in special usecases would like to have this. But it is just too dangerous for the hardwares of the ubuntu users to have "do nothing" activated as standard option. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1213342 Title: gnome power manager : do nothing if battery critical Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The Standard choice within a freshly installed Ubuntu is to: "Do nothing" if the battery reaches critical low level.
