Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Karmic
I get no warnings of low or critical battery, and no hibernation happens. I've lost data on two occasions as a result.
I've changed the gconf key /apps/gnome-
(The panel icon tooltip does display the correct battery percentage and remaining time, but it's just not obvious enough. OSD notifications are needed!)
Hibernate and suspend work when called directly.
I've enabled hibernation on low battery via laptop-mode-tools, and that *does* work - but it doesn't provide any notifications.
This may be a duplicate of #135548 but following suggestions in that very long bug I'm posting a new one. I am currently collecting
gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose
output and will attach it.

- nothing. File is empty. This is while the battery ran down from 82% to ~5% (whereupon laptop_mode triggered hibernation).
