Bug Description
I have my laptop configured to automatically hibernate when low battery is detected.
Sometimes it does hibernate when it should.
Sometimes it hibernates too late, so that the power goes off while it is in the process of hibernating.
Sometimes it simply never hibernates. I get the warning four or five times that tells me that the computer "will hibernate very soon", but it does not. It doesn't even try, it just stays happily awake untill the battery suddenly dies instantly. The indicator battery icon does blink red and empty, so the low power condition is definitely detected. This is not a hardware problem (battery being old and not properly detecting low power with the necessary time margin): the proof of this is that the warning does pop up, a lot of times. But for some reason the system fails to initiate hibernation when it should.
This is the same machine where I experience issues 715850, 715855, 715862, 715865, but I was told to file a separate bug report for each separate issue and this is a clearly different issue from the point of view of the observed (mis)behavior.
