Bug#962914: Please consider setting default UPower critical battery action to hibernate rather than hybrid sleep

2020-06-15 Thread thomasw
Package: upower Version: 0.99.11-2 I propose setting the critical battery action to hibernate rather than hybrid sleep in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf Reasons: 1. Windows does this by default. By doing what Widnows does in this situation, you are more likely to get expected behavior. FWIW: Windows

I did some more testing on this bug this afternoon because I discovered that powertop can generate an HTML report that I can view after assistive tech is re-enabled. What I found is that for some reason, speech dispatcher is preventing the package from entering low power savings like pc2

I built some kernels from mainline to narrow this down exactly. I don't reproduce in 5.3.10. I reproduce in 5.3.11. Not sure if something was fixed in the kernel that exposed an Orca/Speech Dispatcher bug or if this is a kernel regression. Hopefully narrowing this down helps some. 5.3.10 to

I have to appologize for an error I made when reporting this. It can actually be reproduced in both Arch and Debian. The difference was that I didn't have pulseaudio installed on my Arch system. I am blind and use Orca. If I have Orca playing through pulse, the pc states are not entered in both

Just wonder if anyone was able to reproduce this. This patch is adding good functionality (locking the screen before suspend) so reverting is not the correct solution. Before I start investigating this, I would like to know if it works correctly for some people. I have a few friends that run
