(dis)connect Power supply

------- Additional Comments from Andrew Jones <andrew.jones11235 at orange.fr>
I confirm this is still happening on Fedora 13 and 14

After some experimentations it looks like gnome-power-manager is "doing the
right thing", but doing it too quickly for my hardware.

I removed gnome-power-manager and installed acpitool and scripted acpitool to
run continuously and record whenever anything changed.

Disconnected power at 12:51:00 and re-connected it at 12:51:30

I see that for approximately 10 seconds after disconnecting power and 25
seconds after re-applying power the battery life calculation is wrong and
indicates less than two minutes autonomy remaining.  So I understand why the
computer hibernates / shuts down immediately.

This was a very cheap netbook with pre-installed Mandriva and I have no chance
of getting any manufacturer support for Fedora.  Having looked at Smolt I
suspect there is a maximum of one other PC of the same model in the Fedora
community, so if this doesn't affect anyone else I don't really expect
gnome-power-manager to be modified just for my case.

This is my PC
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_3bd03d09-1ad5-4e8a-91b7-0d43fe841022

However if someone could give me a hint as to where I could modify
gnome-power-manager to add some delay before shutting down I would be grateful.


Also if anyone could let me know if there is a way to check if it is my
hardware or Fedora's acpi handling which is causing the battery life
miscalculation I would again be grateful.

Otherwise close this bug 

Thanks,

Andrew Jones
