power management not working in my laptop

Post by metacity »

hi.
I have installed linux mint in my laptop. Everything working fine Except power management. Linux mint is not detecting my batteries.
So it is not detecting power failures. in power management utility there is no option to configure battery mode.I am using linux mint 9.

Thanks in advance

Same here, it was the same on 8 as well when on 32 bit. The screen goes off around 10 minutes although I have it defaulted on "Never" for both power & battery. I would like it to be on all the time. There must be some line to type into Terminal, but that's beyond me! I can access Power Management ok though.

AHA! Found what to change... it was the Screensaver setting! It's fine now,

That's strange, but why not check the Screensaver settings as well. Mine was set at 10 minutes, I changed it to the maximum of 2 hours - and it works fine.
