Lenovo ThinkPad X200T laptop with critical battery goes into hibernation whenever I plug in the power cord

[Pekka L J Jalkanen]

Binary package hint: devicekit-power

This bug is very similar to 481056, but on different hardware. If the system reports that the battery is critically low and that the computer will hibernate in few minutes, and the power cord is plugged after that message, but before the actual hibernation treshold, the plugging of the power cord will cause the computer to report that the battery is below critical level, and then hibernate.

If the charger is plugged in earlier—for example after the battery has reached low (but not critical) treshold—then this problem won't occur, but the battery will simply start charging, which is the expected result. A machine with power cord already plugged shouldn't hibernate!

Also potentially affects gnome-power-manager. Trying to add that to the list.

I have no idea how to make a bug to affect multiple packages, like in #481056. Launchpad's UI sucks.
