[Bug 579069] Re: Unplugging AC power reports critical battery / auto-suspend; battery is actually full
** Description changed: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 Fully updated packages Kernel: 2.6.32-22-generic The computer is an MSI Wind u100 netbook, 3-cell battery. The BIOS is flashed with the latest available firmware, which is 1.0G, released on 2010-01-04. Upon unplugging the netbook from AC power, the panel reports that the battery is critically low (2 minutes left) even though the indicator applet also reports the battery is 100% charged; and then the system auto-suspends without confirmation. After resuming from suspend, the panel reports that the battery is 100% charged (or whatever the actual value is.) In other words, the system is doing what is set under Power Management, which is to suspend when the battery is critically low. The problem is, the battery is NOT critically low, and the notification bubble reports the battery 100% charged, but only has 2 minutes left. Whatever information is needed, I will supply. I am not sure if this is related to the kernel or a particular package. This did not happen on Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10, 2.6.31 kernel. + + === WORKAROUND === + + gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power- + manager/general/use_time_for_policy false + + (from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- + manager/+bug/572541/comments/1) + + === apport info === ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic 2.6.32-22.33 Regression: Yes Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic i686 AlsaDevices: Error: command ['ls', '-l', '/dev/snd/'] failed with exit code 2: ls: cannot access /dev/snd/: No such file or directory AplayDevices: aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

flan_suse: could you please execute the following command in a terminal to gather gnome-power-manager info: apport-collect 579069 This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to Change Non-Private data as it will be adding information to your bug report.

I'm also experiencing this on an MSI s262.

Thanks! The workaround worked perfectly. But, as it was said, I still get the 2 minute message. Anyway, thanks again!

Same on my Dell Vostro 1710. After resume from suspend, if I unplug the power cord it gives me a critical battery warning even at 90% power. Fortunately it doesn't actually hibernate for me (just displays the dialog), which may be another bug. -- Unplugging AC power reports critical battery / auto-suspend; battery is actually full https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579069 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

@Milton, comment #9: For the time-being, try the temporary workaround in comment #5. It's not a fix but it works, until gnome-power-manager is patched. -- Unplugging AC power reports critical battery / auto-suspend; battery is actually full https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579069 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
