Description Amit Shah 2012-03-31 03:59:05 UTC 
My system just enters hibernation/shutdown before adequately warning that the system is low on battery power.  A prominent notification, about 5-10% before going down, will be very helpful.  The change from white to red in the top bar's applet is hardly noticable.

What is your system?
Comment 2 Amit Shah 2012-04-01 05:26:32 UTC 
It's a ThinkPad T420s laptop.  I have two batteries, a 6-cell one and a 3-cell ultrabay battery.

I doubt the 2-battery thing matters; even with a single battery, the notification displayed for the critical capacity warning isn't given in sufficient advance, and not prominently enough for me to take action.

One of the problems exacerbating this is the T420s doesn't have the battery status indicator that I can refer to while working, and the gnome-shell indicator is very easily missed.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-power-manager/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
