2016-07-07 15:20:06 Will Cooke summary "When power is critically low" setting does nothing [SRU] "When power is critically low" setting does nothing
2016-07-07 15:48:52 Will Cooke description Since the move to systemd (I think) the setting in unity-control-center under "Power" that says: When power is critically low: [Hibernate | Power Off] doesn't actually do anything any more. That action is now controlled by Upower config in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf. At the end of that file you can see: # The action to take when "TimeAction" or "PercentageAction" above has been # reached for the batteries (UPS or laptop batteries) supplying the computer # # Possible values are: # PowerOff # Hibernate # HybridSleep # # If HybridSleep isn't available, Hibernate will be used # If Hibernate isn't available, PowerOff will be used CriticalPowerAction=HybridSleep So the default action is HybridSleep and is not configurable by the user in the control center anymore. FWIW - I think the best thing to do is just remove that setting from u-c-c altogether. [Impact] In unity-control-center (u-c-c) there is an option for taking an action when "Power is critically low". The choices are "Hibernate" or "Power off". Often Hibernate is a disabled option because of problems with hibernate on various systems. However - what to do in the event of a critically low power situation is now handled by Upowerd automatically and so making a choice in u-c-c does nothing at all. As such, leaving that option accessible to users will lead to confusion. This patch removes the option from the UI. [Test Case] On an unpatched machine with a battery (i.e. laptop) open the power panel in u-c-c (Power/Settings menu in the top right corner -> System Settings -> Power. Note that the 2nd option down is "When power is critically low". Once this update is applied and u-c-c is closed and reopened, this option is no longer present. [Regression Potential] There are some deletions from the ui file and some corresponding code deletions from the associated c file (cc-power-panel.c). It is possible that extra code has been removed that could cause a crash or affect other options in the power panel. However, the changes are fairly small and easy to review. Nothing looks out of place. Also testing has not shown any problems.
