Description Amit Shah 2012-03-31 04:01:41 UTC
When the battery level goes critically low and then inspite connecting the AC power, the system enters shutdown/hibernate action.  This has happened each time I'm faced with this situation.  I've also noticed that the action gets triggered as soon as I click on the top-bar battery applet after connecting the AC power.  This may or may not be a cause, but noting it in case it matters.

This has happened a few more times, and clicking on the applet is definitely not a cause; after I filed the bug report, I didn't click on the applet, just connected the power, and after a few moments, the laptop goes into shutdown.

In case it matters: I'm running Fedora 16 on ThinkPad T420s.

This happens for me as well.

When the action is "hibernate", the laptop enters an infinite loop hibernate (automatic) -> restart (manual) -> hibernate (automatic), despite plugged in.

I have experienced similarly:

 1. Battery power went critical.
 2. Suspend-to-RAM.
 3. Connect to power and load for an hour.
 4. Wake up from suspend-to-RAM and observe machine shut down.

This is with GNOME 3.10 and openSUSE 13.1.

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.
