Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
This is similar to bug # 52345, but not the same...
It started to happen in the last few weeks. I do not know why.
Steps:
1. Unplug AC
2. Wait for a couple of minutes
3. Plug AC
Actual result:
shuts down automatically with a message "battery is critically low"... (happened about 20 minutes ago)
user.log has these two entries:
Nov 4 16:03:46 localhost gnome-power-
Nov 4 16:03:46 localhost gnome-power-
Expected Result:
should not shut down... battery was full when it was unplugged. It did not drain. The battery can hold charge for about 1 hour without AC.
Reproduceable:
Occured twice in the last few weeks (not always / seldom)
I'm using an up-to-date Dapper.

Subscribed ubuntu-kernel-acpi thinking that this might be a weird interplay between acpi and the gnome power manager.
Note: today, when I plugged in the AC power (as per above steps), a notification popped up but it disappeared so quickly I couldn't read it. It looked like the "battery is critical" notice (I saw the word "data" in there) but it was too quick... And the laptop didn't shut down. So, this still is occurring seldom.
