Then &quot;peeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww&quot;. No more battery. <br /> I haven't received any warning at all. Maybe gnome-power-manager is a bit broken currently on Debian/sid because of <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452367">hal/s2ram/whatever</a> on ppc. I mean s2ram and hal works, but no the way gpm likes them too (i have to manually run s2ram to suspend). But at least , I would have expected gpm to warn me, and then shutdown my laptop. Yep, i've checked, when the battery level becomes critical, it should have poweroff. But that did not happen.<br /> Now i only trust the battery gauge LEDs.<br /> Happy End: thanks to reiserfs and emacs, i haven't lost a single line of code <img src="/benoit/themes/default/smilies/smile.png" alt=":)" class="smiley" /></p>
