Sorry for the long delay.  After school got out for the semester, my
wife got fed-up with it before I could try 11.04, and insisted on re-
installing Windows XP.  (ugh...)  Hopefully darconc will be able to help
you with diagnostics.  Good luck!

Title:
  Laptop goes to sleep right after plugging/unplugging power cord

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  I'm using a Dell Inspiron 700m laptop.  Whenever I plug in the power
  cord, and whenever I unplug the power cord, the computer immediately
  goes to sleep.  (I'm pretty sure it's sleep, and not hibernate.)  I
  tried debugging the problem by monitoring the output of the following
  commands, but nothing appeared to change during the plug/unplug event.

  upower --monitor=detail > upower.log

  dbus-monitor --session
  "type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement'" > dbus-
  monitor.log

  These commands were recommended for debugging gnome-power-manager on
  the g-p-m web site.

  Here is the output of those commands:

  upower:
  Monitoring activity from the power daemon. Press Ctrl+C to cancel.
  [14:41:20.290]	daemon changed:
  [14:41:29.566]	daemon changed:
  [14:41:52.508]	daemon changed:

  
  dbus-monitor:
  signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.57 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
     string ":1.57"

  It may also be worth noting that in order to get this version of
  Ubuntu (10.04) to work at all on this laptop, it was necessary to
  create the file, /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf, and insert the
  following text:

  options i915 modeset=1

  Without that workaround, the laptop boots up to a blank, unresponsive
  screen.  Ubuntu 8.04 had none of the above problems.

  Thanks for looking at this bug!  You folks are great!
