Missing power option in Ubuntu 12.04

There is a feature/bug in Ubuntu 12.04 that does not let you choose actions on critical battery. I finally found a solution to the problem
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action 'nothing'
As it turns out the option can be set if you use the non-GUI method. For those who wish that the laptop suspends instead of hibernate (defult action). You should use
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action 'suspend'
NOTE: sudo is not required

  1. Hi there!
    Very nice blog. You certainly have some very useful and informative posts for any developer (though your music session requires some expansion:]) I think I could help to give this blog some extra exposure if you are interested?
    I am looking for quality "technical" blogs to include into our community of bloggers - glipho.com
