sorry for the short description of the bug.
so, the problem is, that the computer shuts down, when it runs on batteries and I try to connect it to the charger.
the problem is not unique, there are a lot of similar bug reports here on the launchpad.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Power Manager is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.
