[Oneiric Beta] Laptop hibernates as soon as power unplugged, battery full

[Swâmi Petaramesh]

Regression, didn't happen in Natty.

Machine: Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi

Problem: Immediately after unplugging power cord, although battery is full and battery icon correctly shows this in Ubuntu, system spits a message stating battery is critically low and will hibernate now. Which happens immediately (clicking the proposed [Cancel] button has absolutely no effect and doesn't prevent the system from going into hibernation).

Restarting the system causes it to wake up properly and feel happy to run on battery (I'm writing this bug report on battery after system wake up).

Didn't see this issue on other latops with Oneiric Beta 1, only on Acer Aspire 310' WLMi.

I can confirm that this happens on my Compaq Presario X1000 as well. In Natty there was a workaround; setting "use_time_for_policy" to false in gnome-power-manager's gconf configuration. But that doesn't work anymore.

This bug has been known for years, and now the workaround is gone too. Could someone please fix this..?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm that this happens as well. As steehle stated, even though I have use_time_for_policy to be false, the problem is still encountered.

You uses a beta version. Is this happening in any more recent final versions? Hibernation has now been disabled.

[Marius B. Kotsbak (mariusko)]

Does this happen in more recent Ubuntu versions?

Glad to see the first question about a bug I reported more than one year ago !

The answer is as obsolete as the bug report is. Now I have bug #1045890

And BTW, why has hibernation "now been disabled" ?
