Bug#695634: linux-image-3.6-trunk-amd64: fails to execute action (hibernate) on critical battery condition - HP Folio 13-2000
In the meantime I had the opportunity to test this on another HP Folio
13-2000 which is running Windows 7. The user wasn't affected by this bug
only because the default settings for 'critical battery level' were set
to 5 percent – so when the battery reached 5 percent the notebook would
be sent into hibernation.
When I changed this setting to 2 percent (in Windows 7) I was able to
reproduce this bug. So this really seems to be a firmware bug and not a
kernel bug. I'm in contact with the Hewlett Packard support now and hope
that they will fix their BIOS.
I'm going to keep the UPower bug open since UPower still fails to update
the status of the AC adapter but I'm going to close this bug since it
seems to be the BIOS which is responsible for the reported inaccurate
battery levels – not the kernel.
Thank you very much for your help!
Stefan.
