Hi Omer,

Im new to ubuntu so bear with me. Tried this command and got

gdub@gdub-laptop:~$ $ apport collect 632796
$: command not found
gdub@gdub-laptop:~$ apport collect 632796
apport: command not found
gdub@gdub-laptop:~$

I had netbook on battery this morning and it shut down on critical battery.

Started it again and had about 50% battery left.

Is disconnection of the AC involved?

it is very similar, but it actually shuts the netbook down on critical
power. when rebooted it is normally ok.
