Won't Hibernate when Battery Critical

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – Ubuntu 12.04 64bit refuses to hibernate when battery is critically low. Instead it does a complete shutdown which is unnecessary and can cause loss of data. I have enabled Hibernate (pm-hibernate) on following the common instructions I tested pm-hibernate it is works fine when run manually. I have set my power options to hibernate "When Power is Critically Low". This has also been verified by using dconf Editor. Under org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > power > critical-battery-action it is set to "hibernate". Under the same schema, time-action is set to "120". I would like to see (HowTos)

Stories similar to Won't Hibernate when Battery Critical

I am currently using 10.04 and I have set the power manager to hibernate when the battery is critically low. When I get the warning that my battery is critically low, it says that it will soon hibernate, but after about 10 seconds it just cuts out (not shutdown or anything else). Is there a way to change the critical level or is it some other issue?

Machine-> HP311 NetBook Dual Booting Windows 7 and 12.04

Problem-> Under System Settings - Power, I have attempted to set:

When the lid is closed: On Battery -> Hibernate When Plugged in -> Suspend

Obviously, Hibernate wasn't available after install and I enabled it using instructions found on this forum.

However, when I do close the lid, the screen locks and fans/HDD still seem to be going.

Help me please..I need to hibernate my computer.. Thanks

I have a ThinkPad X61 with Ubuntu 10.4 loaded. Everything runs fine except I now need to go long periods of time without power. The time is so long I need to change the battery. Unfortunately, I see the computer does not have the hibernate option, only suspend. Suspend mode requires a battery. I tried pm-hibernate. The screen just goes blank for a moment and then returns to normal.

Hi,

after installing 3.7.2-204 I no longer have mem in /sys/power/state. Thus my laptop does not hibernate after closing the lid. With 201 all was fine. That is, I still can hibernate with echo mem >/sys/power/state or also systemctl hibernate?

Anybody else? Anybody knows the reason? I could not find anything

Hibernate/Suspend 1 year 1 week ago

Whenever I go into hibernate or suspend it doesn't seem to work.

Hey!

I am still on good ol' Jaunty with my Zepto 3215 laptop. Recently I noticed, that power management fails to calculate remaining time on battery power correctly. Typically it will predict a remaining time which is between 50% or 70% longer than the actual time left. This also means, that ubuntu fails to hibernate even when battery symbol shows 0% battery left.

[ubuntu] Hibernate question 7 weeks 6 days ago

Is it possible to put a Laptop in Hibernate or not, as on my 13.04 Pre-Release system the Hibernate option is in Power settings but it's grayed out?

Hi, I have been running 11.1 on this laptop for a year and hibernate worked great on that. I recently installed (not upgraded) 11.2. now when i try to hibernate, i get the suse hibernate screen up, the progress bar counts down some (maybe about %20) and then it seems to hang. I have to power off and start back up.
