Public bug reported:
When my battery gets low (I'm not sure of the actual %age value), 2
dialogue boxes show, one for 'low battery', and the other for 'critical
battery'. Leaving these dialogue boxes open, I quickly rush over and
plug the charger in, however, regardless of weather I click the 'X',
'Cancel' or 'Ok' (I cant remember the actual button captions, but
they're similar) The laptop hibernates anyway.
The low battery notification in the top right works fine at around 15%,
but I usually forget to do anything until I'm interrupted by the 2
dialogues, but by then it's too late, and the laptop will hibernate.
I have also tried to edit the low and critical battery percentage
triggers in dconf (or gconf?) without success, the low and critical
values were set to different levels, however it appears that the change
was not recognised by gnome-power-manager.
What I Expected:
==============
- At 15%, the 'Low battery' warning would show in the top right.
- At 10%, A 'Low battery' dialogue should show, offering the user to 'Suspend'
or 'Do nothing'
If the user presses 'Suspend', then suspend
If the user presses 'Do Nothing' then do nothing (i.e. don't
hibernate)
- At 5%, Show a 'Critical battery' dialogue, with a countdown showing
the time until the computer will begin hibernation.
However, the dialogue should automatically dismiss if the laptop is
plugged into AC while either dialogue is being shown.
What Happened Instead:
===================
1) The battery level was around 15%.
2) I Ignored the 'low battery warning' notification in the top right.
3) When the battery got to around 10%, The 2 'low' and 'critical' dialogue
boxes appeared together.
4) I tried to close the dialogues without the laptop entering hibernation.
5) The laptop went into hibernate regardless of what I do.
