Bug Description

Thinkpad X61 tablet.

System->preferences-->Power management

Setting "on battery power" suspend if battery critical.

I expect it to suspend when the battery runs out.

My machine switches off without any warning when the battery runs out.

Ubuntu hardy (development branch) 8.04 (32bit)

Attached result of

gnome-power-bugreport.sh &> gpm.log

Note:

I have tried suspend and hibernate, neither work.
After I get the "warning machine will hibernate in 3 minutes" the battery "Power History" monitor displays my battery voltage falling to zero then the machine just dies.

Hi, you reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you also check if it happens with a never release of Ubuntu? Thank you in advance.

Hi, This appears to be fixed in 9.04. My machine now hibernates when the battery is critical. Thanks
