Sometimes, when I'm not directly around or I forgot to put the powersupply into my laptop. My laptop runs into the critical power action. Because I'm using upowerd, my machine try to does this:
- HibernateSuspend (fails)
- Hibernate (fails)
- PowerOff
Great! My machine shuts down, in the middle of doing something. It would take 2 minutes to get a powersupply, but too late!!
But there might be a solution for this: Suspend. My machine can survive more than 1 hour in suspend with this low battery.
It would help me NOT loosing my current unsaved work.
After looking into the upowerd, it's just a 1 line code change to allow this. It is not a good default, but there are people who like to use this.
But .. upowerd doesn't like. They not even want to allow the user to take this option. Indepentent that I agree, this shouldn't be the default. We're discussing this issue for years. Without any solution. Upowerd want to decide what users should do with there laptop and what not.
How to resolve it?
