  [Impact]

  In unity-control-center (u-c-c) there is an option for taking an
  action when "Power is critically low".  The choices are "Hibernate" or
  "Power off".  Often Hibernate is a disabled option because of problems
  with hibernate on various systems.

  However - what to do in the event of a critically low power situation
  is now handled by Upowerd automatically and so making a choice in
  u-c-c does nothing at all.

  As such, leaving that option accessible to users will lead to
  confusion.

  This patch removes the option from the UI.

  [Test Case]

  On an unpatched machine with a battery (i.e. laptop) open the power
  panel in u-c-c (Power/Settings menu in the top right corner -> System
  Settings -> Power.  Note that the 2nd option down is "When power is
  critically low".

  Once this update is applied and u-c-c is closed and reopened, this
  option is no longer present.

  [Regression Potential]
  There are some deletions from the ui file and some corresponding code 
deletions from the associated c file (cc-power-panel.c).

  It is possible that extra code has been removed that could cause a
  crash or affect other options in the power panel.

  However, the changes are fairly small and easy to review.  Nothing
  looks out of place.  Also testing has not shown any problems.

[Documentation-packages] [Bug 1599264] Re: [SRU] "When power is critically low" setting does nothing

[Chris Perry]

Hi Gunnar, I take your point that I'm going beyond fixing this bug - but
that (ideally) is what a good tech writer does.

I think here's the answer to my question (link below). The default
setting is "suspend" - yes I've checked 16.04 and that is correct.
However, there's a bug so that when the setting is "suspend" Ubuntu
shuts down when power is critically low. So can I fix this bug and also
state that ubuntu by default shuts down when power is critically low? I
believe that unless the user fiddles with the gnome settings, which
aren't documented in the desktop help, there's no possibility of
suspend, so can I remove the info about suspend on this page. In that
case it will be a very short page!

[Documentation-packages] [Bug 1599264] Re: [SRU] "When power is critically low" setting does nothing

[Chris Perry]

I think it should be straightforward for me to update the desktop help
(17.04). However, I need to check (in simple terms) what ubuntu now does
when the power gets low. When the battery gets to 10% ubuntu will
(attempt to) suspend? Is that correct? If the computer has problems
suspending ubuntu will not know that and will still (attempt to)
suspend? Is that correct? I'm asking because I'm planning to state what
happens in the desktop help. Here's the link for the current version of
the affected page:

There are no general criteria for determining when a bug fix *should* be
backported. The purpose of the SRU criteria is to make clear under which
circumstances backporting *may* take place. Obviously they don't
override 'cost-benefit' considerations.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In unity-control-center (u-c-c) there is an option for taking an
  action when "Power is critically low".  The choices are "Hibernate" or
  "Power off".  Often Hibernate is a disabled option because of problems
  with hibernate on various systems.

  However - what to do in the event of a critically low power situation
  is now handled by Upowerd automatically and so making a choice in
  u-c-c does nothing at all.

  As such, leaving that option accessible to users will lead to
  confusion.

  This patch removes the option from the UI.

  [Test Case]

  On an unpatched machine with a battery (i.e. laptop) open the power
  panel in u-c-c (Power/Settings menu in the top right corner -> System
  Settings -> Power.  Note that the 2nd option down is "When power is
  critically low".

  Once this update is applied and u-c-c is closed and reopened, this
  option is no longer present.

  [Regression Potential]
  There are some deletions from the ui file and some corresponding code 
deletions from the associated c file (cc-power-panel.c).

  It is possible that extra code has been removed that could cause a
  crash or affect other options in the power panel.

  However, the changes are fairly small and easy to review.  Nothing
  looks out of place.  Also testing has not shown any problems.

  [Other Info]

  Verbal (IRC) +1 from design via mpt.
  +1 from docs team via mailing list.

[Documentation-packages] [Bug 1599264] Re: [SRU] "When power is critically low" setting does nothing

[Will Cooke]

Update description to be SRU compliant.

** Description changed:

- Since the move to systemd (I think) the setting in unity-control-center
- under "Power" that says:

- When power is critically low: [Hibernate | Power Off]
+ In unity-control-center (u-c-c) there is an option for taking an action

Bug description:
  Since the move to systemd (I think) the setting in unity-control-
  center under "Power" that says:

  When power is critically low: [Hibernate | Power Off]

  doesn't actually do anything any more.

  That action is now controlled by Upower config in
  /etc/UPower/UPower.conf.  At the end of that file you can see:

  # The action to take when "TimeAction" or "PercentageAction" above has been
  # reached for the batteries (UPS or laptop batteries) supplying the computer
  # 
  # Possible values are:
  # PowerOff
  # Hibernate
  # HybridSleep
  #
  # If HybridSleep isn't available, Hibernate will be used
  # If Hibernate isn't available, PowerOff will be used
  CriticalPowerAction=HybridSleep

  
  So the default action is HybridSleep and is not configurable by the user in 
the control center anymore.

  FWIW - I think the best thing to do is just remove that setting from
  u-c-c altogether.
