I've been told that if you use your laptop until the battery runs out, then let it sit for a couple of hours (DO NOT CHARGE!), and start it up again (and let the battery run out again) that the next time you charge it up, it will charge to a (slightly) higher level than the previous last charge level. This is supposed to help fend off battery depletion! I was testing. I've seen some small change with my battery capacity, but I haven't gotten it back to near new power levels yet. Anyways, I get a notice (pop-up) from the Gnome-Power-Manager when the battery capacity gets to 20% (At this point, the battery icon turns orange). I get another warning (pop-up) when it gets to less than 5 minutes remaining. I get a final warning that the laptop will hibernate if the power gets much lower, then, before it can hibernate, the power dies. Is there somewhere I can configure the Gnome-power-manager to warn me or start the hibernate process earlier? So that it completes? I know it doesn't complete, because when I reboot, it reboots immediately to a new kernel, not the old desktop I was running when it died. I'd like to re-define the critical point where it starts the hibernate so that it has enough power left to complete the hibernate process.... -- Kevin J.
