Description Anders Kaseorg 2006-02-06 18:29:29 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:

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?
Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2006-02-10 13:13:24 UTC
This should not happen now, I've committed a big cleanup which seporated the different battery types. Can you confirm and close please.
Comment 3 Anders Kaseorg 2006-02-11 19:52:45 UTC
Yeah, it doesn't shut down anymore. Though it still shows my mouse battery as 0%--I'll file a separate bug.
