Some additional info: The default state for the gnome-power-manager is to shutdown when battery is critically low. It would seem to me though that the system should check to see if it is plugged into AC before it does this otherwise it will be impossible to recharge the battery since the system will continue to shut off. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 499668 *** |
Created attachment 345175 [details] messages starting May 22 AM Description of problem: On boot the system detected low battery and shut system off despite being attached to AC The battery in my laptop discharged completel which I discovered this when I got to the airport this evening. I hooked it up to AC and everything worked. I then flew to visit my folks. I attached the laptop to AC and booted up. It immediately shut itself off because it determined that the battery was critically low. I rechecked the connections and retried and the same thing happened. I tried it a third time and same thing. I then booted up on Windows and I had no problems. The Windows XP power meter showed battery was 3% charged. I let the battery charge to 10% and then rebooted F11 and this time it came up fine. The power meter shows it is now 25% charged. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F11 with latest updates up to 5/22 How reproducible: Happened 3 out of 3 tries when battery was below 5% charged Steps to Reproduce: 1.Discharge laptop battery 2.Boot F11 while on AC 3. Actual results: Shuts off due to battery critically low Expected results: That it detects AC, remains running and begins charging battery Additional info: This message was in the /var/log/messages file: May 22 20:18:48 peglaptop10 pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:580:signal_trap() Preparing for suicide There was one of these for each of the failures. I have attached the entries in /var/log/messages for May 22
