Public bug reported: I have a ThinkPad X60s with two batteries (one regular "8 cell high capacity battery" plus an "extended life battery" that fits on the bottom of the laptop). I just had a situation where I was running on battery power from the extended life battery, and when that battery ran down, gnome-power-manager displayer the critical low charge notification balloon and shut down the laptop, even though the other battery had a full charge (and in fact the gnome-power-manager notification icon was showing a 70% charge and more than 4 hours of runtime left).
It's rather annoying to have the laptop shut down 4 hours early ;) ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- With two batteries, shutdown when first discharges https://launchpad.net/bugs/65175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
