I have a similar problem when I remove power on the DC side of the charger. Ubuntu detects a low battery then shutsdown. Cancel is to no avail. If I remove the power on the AC side (wall plug) its fine. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A200. I think the detect for low battery is a little too sensitive - need to increase a timer somewhere as Ubuntu sees a power blip when the DC is removed.

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager When i remove the AC power cable from my laptop, the computer goes to sleep. When trying to bring the computer out from sleep mode (with the power button), it comes alive and shows the desktop for a few seconds and then goes back to sleep again. Only way for me to bring the computer back is to connect the AC power cable again, and then everything works as expected.
