Dear Maintainer,

on my notebook (HP Folio 13-2000) the gnome power manager settings regarding
the action taken when battery reaches a critical level are ignored.
I get notifications that the battery level is low but then suddenly my notebook
shuts down instead of going into hibernation - I already lost some work because
of this…

Sending my notebook into hibernation manually works without any problems.

Please tell me if you need more information.

Most likely this needs to be re-assigned to gnome-settings-daemon, as
gnome-power-manager nowadays only provides
/usr/bin/gnome-power-statistics, but doesn't actually handle power
events anymore.

Are you running gnome in classic mode (fallback) or shell?
Is gnome-settings-daemon running?
What's the output of
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power

Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the
universe are pointed away from Earth?
