Ubuntu – Suspend when critically low power 11.10

11.10batterygnome-power-managerpower-managementsuspend

Is there a way to suspend when Ubuntu is at critically low power. The only option in Ubuntu 11.10 power setting is to shutdown or hibernate. I run my battery all the way down till it suspends then i plug it in. It gets annoying when my computer hibernates at critically low power.

Thanks in advance for the help

Not sure why power settings only offers hibernate or shutdown.
You can change the option to suspend using dconf-editor:
Browse to org->gnome->settings-daemon->plugins->power, and change the value of critical-battery-action to "suspend".

People who had same problem I installed Jupiter for them that tend to solve the problem of critical low level of battery in laptops. If you are experiencing such a critical battery level then you can try the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/jupiter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jupiter

Ubuntu – How to set the computer to suspend when battery is critically low

There is no option to suspend available.

You cannot suspend when power is critically low, to suspend you need power to save the session to RAM allowing you to resume quicker, if you loose power you loose the current suspend state.

Hibernate copys the current state to the hard drive, it is slower but you can turn off the power.

Shutdown is obvious - you will loose any data in the active session and have a new session on restart.
