[opensuse-factory] Beta 3 shows won't update on Battery?
Well, this is a new one. I've got Beta3 installed on my Thinkpad 390X. It's got a really long life battery. It's currently at about 60% remaining. When I restored the kde taskbar updater, I got this message: Unable to check whether updates are available. The system is on battery. Please connect a power supply. Ok, why is this? I'm not "allowed" to update if I am running on battery? Shouldn't that be MY choice???

Makes sense to me, if the battery is low or is depleting quickly then updating your system may leave the computer on an unstable state. I bet that zypper sucks seriously the battery (I/O + cpu). Erik.

Check the opensuseupdater settings - this is a config option. Regards, Christian Boltz -- [16x *PATSCH*]

It makes sense, the same thing that some cron jobs do not run while on batery, thay are left to another time. You can configure it diferently. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
