Where is the configuration file which specifies the critical
battery limit?
Like many other things in Gnome, the information is stored in gconf. Use
`gconf-editor` and look under `/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds`.
You might also consider looking at the `use_time_for_policy` key in
`/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds` if you decide to use percentage
instead of time to judge when to do things.
Ubuntu 11.10 (which the OP is using) is using Gnome 3 -- gnome apps
have migrated from gconf to Gsettings (with dconf backend). The dconf
backend is binary, so you won't be able to directly change it from a
text editor. If you have dconf-editor installed, navigate to
org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power
in the left pane and you can edit the power configuration in the right
pane. Alternatively, you can also use gsettings from the command line.
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
will list all the keys and their values under this schema. If you want
to change a value of a key, say percentage-critical :
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
percentage-critical 10
You will find description of the keys here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/data/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.gschema.xml.in.in
Note: You should also set use-time-for-policy key to false if you use
percentage.
