The friendly Old Battery Warning in Ubuntu

Posted by mypapit on 23 May 2008 in Computers, GNU/Linux, Ubuntu/Debian

Ubuntu is friendly enough to provide a nice and friendly warning to me about the status of the laptop battery that I currently use. With Microsoft Windows (at least Windows XP), the laptop simply dies when the battery looses its juice.

Its nice to have this sort of reminder when you really need to change the battery.

   it is interested.Now has not been able to determine that this is really, but hoped that can have this technology. Our battery can use for a long time

   I would be happy if Ubuntu was also able to warn when power level goes low, something fundamental to laptop usage. But no, it simply dies suddently with no prior alert. One of the most annoying bugs of Ubuntu 8.04
