Today I search in newest bugs for gnome-power-manager and found several similar cases.
At least those new bugs sound very similar. I decided to post here what I discover till now. There are laptops that have enormous peak in energy consumption while being plug to or unplugged from AC power. Look at screenshoot from gnome-power-statistic: energy-rate is more then 0,7kW When cable was unplugged calculated time-to-empty is wrong and very small. But g-p-m reacts on this event and do what is set in prefs. To avoid suspend or hibernating I turn off time policy: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy false In this case 'Critical low battery' event not happen because percentage is correct. But 'Battery discharging' notification still shows wrong minutes and right percentage: 1 minute of battery power remaining (99%) Actually this energy-rate jump not g-p-m related (I filled bug 531190 against upower), but anyway this behavior of g-p-m is very annoying. And it was not so with hal ** Attachment added: "2010-04-12-133905_1024x600_scrot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43908308/2010-04-12-133905_1024x600_scrot.png -- "Critcally low" shown on unplug at 100% full https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
