Using Ubuntu Jaunty 64 bits on Dell inspiron 1520.

The problem happens if I have the battery disconnected.

Seems that I'm not the only one with the problem. --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7165201

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 372563

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry I gave you the incorrect command. The output of

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 372563

is what we need. Thanks again!
