GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 330156
gnome-power-manager shuts down computer when mouse battery is low
Last modified: 2006-02-11 19:52:45 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have a Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse that reports its battery status to the computer. Sometimes it misreports its battery as 0% when I first plug it in, and when that happens, gnome-power-manager decides that the battery power is critical and shuts down the computer. Since g-p-m recognizes that the "critical" battery belongs to a mouse (and even displays a mouse-specific battery icon in the panel), can't it also recognize that a dead mouse battery is not a threat to my data, and forgo the shutdown in this case? Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: I'm using gnome-power-manager 0.3.4-0ubuntu4 (reported as Power Manager 2.13.5 in About) on Ubuntu Dapper with GNOME 2.13.
Wow. Not cool. Does this still happen with CVS?
This should not happen now, I've committed a big cleanup which seporated the different battery types. Can you confirm and close please.
Yeah, it doesn't shut down anymore. Though it still shows my mouse battery as 0%--I'll file a separate bug.
