Kpowerdevil stop pending suspend on battery running out doesn't work

[Bartłomiej Żogała]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace-bin

When the battery is on 1% level kpowerdevil displays notify that to avoid suspend user sould click on this notify in 10 seconds, but clicking doesn't affect shutdown/suspend process. It's a bug when we want to intentionally discharge battery near 0% and quickly plug AC power. Also if CPU is under load, the rest of battery level sometimes jump e.g. from 4% to 1% and back to 4% but powerdevil detects this moment as battery discharged event.

I just experienced this popup the other day on my netbook and it seemed to work for me, though I was at a higher percentage than 1%. What I do when I want to take the system down that low, right before the battery goes out, is disable the power settings temporarily. Powerdevil is designed to save you in these cases, but by disabling the power saver settings, it can't, and therefore works the way you want it to.

I think I followed you, but if I didn't and got confused, please let me know, and provide any further information that you can concerning this issue. Thanks!

I think you didn't understand me. I'm discharging battery to low level, next comes the kde notify popup , with info that system will be shutdown in 10 seconds and to prevent this I must _click it_. So I don't know why you advise me to disable kpowerdevil if it already has a feature I need but not properly implemented/not working on my system. Checked it today again(KDE 4.2.4) I clicked it few time - the popup and the blue "i" icon but it didn't disappeared , when trying to launch ksnapshot it gave me errors about ftp so the net connection was down, probably the shutdown process was already started.

Seems to be fixed after one of recent upgrades. Now I see Cancel button on notification, which wasn't preset previously and clicking Cancel does the work.
