This question might seem very basic. I am new to Ubuntu (recently moved from Windows). I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and it doesn't show warning when my battery is low, instead laptop automatically turns off. There is a battery icon that shows current status, but no warning message when battery gets low.

It would be great if I could find a way within Ubuntu options, if not then please suggest any any third party package.

    I have the same issue, @arsalan. The device just shuts down, without a warning. The icon is there, but of course I'm not checking that all the time. – Alex Nov 25 '18 at 11:39

This article details how to use dconf editor to alter the low battery behaviors. You can see if somehow your settings are non-default or not to your liking.
