I mean the power management system determines that the battery can no longer sustain

operation and the machine abruptly shuts off, without notice, and without any regularized

software shutdown.

 

The linux battery indicator shows 0% with estimated time ranging from a few minutes to

20 minutes prior to shutdown.  I am doing this because the battery indicator rarely manages

to show 100% even though the available use time is consistent with a fully charged battery.

My goal is to ascertain whether there is a bug in the BIOS or the battery indicator by tracking

the variation in behavior over multiple occurances.

 

The geany issue report is collateral to my primary purpose (accidental, and not consistent

across shutdowns).

 

Following shutdown the machine will not turn on save for blinking the power button light

when it is pressed.  I therefore must stop working until I find a power outlet.

 

In summary, the shutdown is uncontrolled and so it is appropriate to call it a crash.

When you say the laptop "shuts down" do you actually mean shutdown, or hibernate or suspend?
