Debian Multimedia :: Delayed Shutdown On Low Battery?
Jul 1, 2011
is there a way to configure shutdown on critically low battery to give me a bit of time before actually shutting down?I've set Gnome to shutdown on low battery. Problem is, I don't get any notification about battery running low, and as soon as battery level reaches the critical threshold, the system starts shutdown without me having any possibility to quickly complete some tasks. Of course, I'd increase battery level thresholds accordingly.

I did a live upgrade from 11.3 KDE and observe a following issue.When I press the shutdown button on the laptop it initiates the shutdown and shuts down fine but after a significant delay of time (something like 30 seconds). When I click the shutdown button in KDE it initiates the shutdown instantly. This was not the case in 11.3 where the shutdown worked the same regardless of the method that triggered it

I have looked all over the place but I can't find if this is possible. I am running Debian 6 as a media server (SMB) and it is tied to a UPS, I used gnome power management to set up a low battery shutdown but this UPS also is powering another embedded computer. So, I was wondering if it was possible to have a script run (to log in and shut down the embedded system) before gnome power management shuts down the Debian server. I know I could probably get it to run on every shutdown, but I am looking for low power only.

I recently purchased a UPS (Tripp-lite Internet 550U)to shutdown my PC during a power outage when unattended. This model of UPS is connected to the PC with USB. Upon plugging in the UPS USB cable the Gnome Power Manager started up and it appears to correctly show the condition of the UPS. During a power outage it showed battery discharge right down to the battery going critical, but never shutdown the PC. I have set the options in the power manager for low & critical battery shutdow. Seems something is blocking the Gnome Power Manager from shutting down, but I have no idea where to start looking..
PC: Abit mobo with Phoenix bios
Ubuntu 8.04
UPS: Trtipp-Lite Internet 550U

getting back to our laptop, the stability window is ~3.2V. Meaning that when you operate the battery above this the electrolyte is oxidized on the positive electrode and reduced on the negative electrode. Remember that we only want to oxidize and reduce the active materials and don't want to do anything else. All these reactions other than the ones we want are called side reactions¯ and these are really bad for the battery. The nominal voltage of a laptop battery is 3.7 V which means that something bad wants to happen as we use the battery.So long story short, stuff (e.g., passive layers and poor kinetics of reactions) happens and things are not as bad as they seem and you can increase the voltage up to 4.2V without bad things really happening. All chargers for Li-ion cells today cut the battery off when it reaches 4.2V. What you have to realize is that at 4.2V, these side reactions are present in finite amounts and start to chemically kill the battery, but its not that dramatic.
Operating to 4.1V makes things better and extends the life, 4.0 V is even better and so on. So why don't battery manufacturers cut the voltage off at, say, 4 V to get better battery life? Because every time you cut this voltage down you decrease the capacity of the battery and its run time. The 4.2V cutoff is a compromise between good run time and decent (read "not pathetic) life.On the other hand, if you charge the battery and then pull the plug (so to speak), the battery discharges some, the voltage drops, and these reactions become less of a problem and your battery life goes up. So the best things you can do is to charge the laptop (or cell phone, camera etc.) and once its charged, pull the plug. Your battery will thank you for it.As a matter of fact, if you own a Lenovo Thinkpad, you can actually change the state of charge to which you charge the battery using the Battery Maintenance¯ utility. You can change this from charging to 100% state (where the voltage is 4.2V) to 90% so that your voltage is less. You lose some energy is doing that, but atleast you can change it to 100% when you need battery power and put it back down to 90% when you can plug in. I wish my Mac has the same feature.
I typically use the battery for a while (say 1/2 hour to 1 hour), then plug it in and wait to fully charge it, then I pull the plug and use it again for 1/2 hour to 1h and then I repeat this. Takes some getting used to and I forget to do this, but I try.

I run Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP dv2000 laptop with 2GB RAM. I see a strange problem with my system. When running on battery and the level hits about 43% (+- 1%), the system shuts down suddenly. No warning and no information in logs either. Temperature of both cores are below 50 C. I have tried cleaning the dust withing the laptop chasis but no progress.
I have done quite some research on this and other forums but haven't found anybody else with similar problem.

I managed to install Jessie on my new Lenovo Ideapad 100 and have been trying to put the finishing touches on it. I downloaded FDPowermonitor and the icon showed up right away. Then after a few minutes it went away and hasn't shown back up.
I think I need to modify /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to include @fdpowermon but I cannot figure out how to have the permission and use a editor I understand.
I just log into LXDE with root... but there has got to be a better way yes? But that didn't work anyway...

I'm trying to make my system automatically shutdown once the battery level is low, but still without success. I've tried kpowersave, gnome-power-manager, kpower, klaptop but none of these worked for me. Well, I can't imagine I would be that stupid, but simply it doesn't work. In all cases mentioned above (kpower, klaptop, gnome-power-manager) I've tried to setup the laptop to shutdown once the defined level is reached, but the laptop never actually switched off unless all the battery was drained.
Btw. I think all the above mentioned apps only work once the user is logged in. But I'd like the solution to work also when the PC is on without anyone logged in. I thought I could write a bash script based on parsing of acpitools output and define it as a service, which would monitor the battery level, but I simply don't believe there isn't any functional solution to this.

Something that has been bugging me. I'm not sure about where it should be so I put it here.
When I loaded up a flash game, the music/sound would be delayed. It's nothing with the performance of my PC because it's still fast.

I'm trying to make the power manager NOT automatically shutdown / sleep / hibernate when battery power of my laptop reaches critical
I am surprised there isnt an 'NO ACTION' option for that in power manager
I've tried editing the acpi-supper in /etc/default bu couldn't find a solution in there nor in the /home/user/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/ directory

I just installed debian unstable with kde 4.4.5 on a new hp desktop. Just about everything is working fine except when I try to logout or shutdown by right clicking on the desktop. No matter which option I choose--logout, shutdown, or restart--the screen goes black and nothing happens. I'm forced to do a hard shutdown or use alt-SysRq-B to reboot. I can reboot or shutdown using the command line when logged into kde.

I have Linux debian 7.7.0 i386-amd64 under VBox 4.3.20 and here is the problem:::
When I open the menu from Linux's top-right corner and click SHUT DOWN..., it shows the dialog with choices, and that Linux guest will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds and I need to change that delay value to 3 seconds. Of course I could just re-click Shut Down -button again, but I don't want to do it. Period.
By Googling I found these "instructions" for UBUNTU:
None of this worked on my 13.04 system. In the end I re-compiled gnome-session.
In gsm_shell.c and gsm_logout_dialog.c change #define AUTOMATIC_ACTION_TIMEOUT from 60 to 5

Since I've made the switch to Systemd, I've been having various problems with LightDM.
The most interesting and frustrating problem is when I choose Shutdown or Restart from the XFCE4 shutdown menu, the XFCE4 session closes but then the lightDM greeter pops back up. The system doesn't even try to shut down.
Its as if restart and shutdown both act the same as the Logout button.
Im running XFCE4 4.12 (but same behaviour on 4.10). I have the latest LightDM and the latest Systemd.

I know the problem has been partly solved in this old thread [URL] .....
Now we have Jessie as stable, yet LXDE doesn't shutdown properly:
On the same computers, Wheezy LXDE shut down very fast
I installed Jessie from the netinstall image.
On a 2007 computer, it's like the old days with a Pentium II running some version of Puppy Linux or Slitaz. The system shuts down after a while but the computer remains on.
On a 2013 laptop, I added the line init=/bin/systemd in the Grub default file as advised on the old thread above. The laptop shuts down after a while, the system first, then the hard disk goes to sleep, then all the leds are off.
If I run the magic command, the computer shutdowns in a breeze, perhaps even quicker than good old Wheezy:
Code: Select all# systemctl poweroff
Now, is this still a systemd bug? Doesn't look like it since the systemctl command works. Is it an LXDE bug? Looks like it in a way - if the LXDE shutdown button enabled the systemctl poweroff command, I suppose the button would work?
Is there a way to make the LXDE shutdown button run the systemctl poweroff command?
I'm glad Wheezy is still with us because I wouldn't install Jessie for newbies ā€” they'd think shutdown (through clicking on a button) is even worse than in Windows.

Just installed 9.10 followed by a 10.04 upgrade (wouldn't work as a 10.04 clean install). The install and upgrade all seemed to go well.
But now when booting I get a message saying "checking battery state" and then it boots no further. This is a laptop without a battery installed, running permanently from the mains through the charger.
How can I disable this check so that the laptop will still boot without a battery fitted?

I've recently installed Squeeze on my laptop. All was fine (except for a small change I needed to make to the GRUB code in order to install and boot it) and I find the OS easy to use. I am sure I will be using it for a long time! I might even change my desktop over to Squeeze as well - I'm using Linux Mint 10 at the moment.I have found just one minor problem: the battery icon continuously shows 100% full, even when the indicator on the laptop is showing that it needs recharging - after about two hours' use.This has not happened before:although the laptop is about two years' old, I have had this battery for only a month, so it has not yet done much work!

In Jessie I would change the "critically low battery value". So from dconf-editor I followed this path:
Code: Select all/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/
as suggested here [URL] ....
and here [URL] ....
The problem is that I haven't none of the following fields:
time-action
time-critical
time-low
or
use-time-for-policy
percentage-action
percentage-critical
percentage-low
How can I overcome this problem? Why the dconf-editor seems to be incomplete?

I have Evoluent Vertical Mouse connected via USB. It would work fine connected to my laptop on AC power, but it would freeze when on battery.I have "laptop-mode-tools" installed, and I traced this problem to laptop-mode-tools trying to put the mouse to sleep and not waking it up.To solve this, I have blacklisted the power management for the USB mouse. First, I did "lsusb" to find the mouse device:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1a7c:0068 Evoluent VerticalMouse 3..And got the ID of the device. Then I edited the laptop mode configuration and added this id to the blacklist:
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
edit this line:
AUTOSUSPEND_USBID_BLACKLIST="1a7c:0068"

When I am working with Windows OS on the DELL-Vostro-1014 laptop the battery is working. If however I switch to Debian Squeeze OS the battery does not work. Running #hardinfo & shows that there is no battery. Am I right in assuming that the driver for the battery?
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 gives
model_name DELL X612G0
Serial No. 18069
manufacturer LG
What driver is needed, where to search for it and how to incorporate in the kernel 2.26.32-5-686 ?

when running on AC-power, only on battery.When I have my laptop on battery, and I plug the mouse in, then the USB mouse is working if I keep moving it around. If I then lay it alone for 5 secs, or so. it stops working.I cannot get USB sticks to work as well.
