@Wolfang: Just to clarify, the patch above fixes the scenario in which devkit-power -d reports "on-battery: no" after unplugging the AC, but apparently only when the battery is fully charged. Under those circumstances, the battery (through the /sys/devices filesystem) happens to report an "Unknown" status (who knows why). That confuses the devkit-power daemon, since the "on-battery" yes/no decision depends on the battery reporting a "charging" or "discharging" status, and not on the AC device itself (which seems more sensible to me).
The end result is that gnome-power-manager will never realize when AC goes off-line and it will never switch to the "on battery" policy. The biggest issue I had with this was that my laptop never went to sleep after closing the lid (since I only instruct g-p-m to suspend when closing the lid on batteries) and I've already found my laptop cooking in its bag three times. -- devicekit-power fails to realize I'm on battery after AC disconnect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
