The problem: On battery power, a warning message pops up telling you your battery is critically low. Even if you have time to plug in the mains, that's ignored and the PC shuts down.
I was using ubuntu 8.10 when I did this to solve the problem.
Here's the solution ..
"Blank box to top-notch web server"
- plain English copy/paste tutorials with video
- written for VPS beginners and Linux newbies
- perfect for multiple sites, blogs & more
- Fast. Secure. Future-proofed. Cheap-as-chips!
- "Wow!!" "godsend!!" "GREAT!!!" "awesome"
Ubuntu & Debian, Nginx (beats Apache), MySQL, PHP-FPM, Xcache, WordPress, WP MU, Drupal etccccc
Set Up & Enhance Ubuntu 9.10 .. KARMIC KOALA BIBLE
In simple copy/paste steps .. from zero to hero.
Scroll down for the full series index.
Wake up and smell the Ubuntu! Hope it helps. the_guv
Open the Configuration Editor from the Terminal:-
gconf-editor
Cascading through the menu, set up or change the following keys:
/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy (false)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_low (12)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_critical (8)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_action (5)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/critical_battery (hibernate)
Now, when the battery reaches 12% Gnome shows a "low battery warning", at 8% a "Critical battery warning" and at 5% the system hibernates.
Thassit. You can go now.
