As a mentioned before: changing the action for "lid closed" to "do nothing" or "blank screen" is an other solution.
With this change if unplugging the ac cable the laptop just does nothing or blanks the screen. This worked for me. Is anybody else helped with this info? Maybe there is a solution to find in this workaround. The initial workaround did not work for me. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] Namens Jeremy Jongsma Verzonden: woensdag 8 december 2010 18:22 Aan: kris.mar...@kpnmail.nl Onderwerp: [Bug 531190] Re: upower (devkit-power) reporting bad data when AC cable is unplugged Brand new Dell Vostro 3700 running Maverick, fully charged battery, seeing the same behavior - it wants to hibernate as soon as I unplug. Using the workaround, when I unplug it still says "5 minutes of power left" (but at least does not hibernate), then within a few seconds it updates to tell me I have 2 hours 45 minutes of power. This looks really sloppy and confusing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531190 Title: upower (devkit-power) reporting bad data when AC cable is unplugged Status in DeviceKit based power management D-Bus backend: Confirmed Status in “upower” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “upower” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: upower upower reports enormous energy-rate for first time after cord is unplugged.
