Won't Hibernate when Battery Critical
- by 12SJW34
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 what is happening just prior to this shutdown.  I would like to know what logs to search to see if pm-hibernate is actually failing, or if it is being ignored entirely.
Barring figuring this out on my own, is there a suggested work around?
