While this is inconvenient, there are bigger fish to fry, and the WORKAROUND is just be very careful in not hitting the power cord.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Description changed: What is expected to happen is when one adjusts the power cord slightly is the computer doesn't shutdown. What happens instead is looks like it received a shutdown event. Previously, when I was using Raring with an HDD i386, a message would pop up asking if I wanted to shutdown, which I didn't. However, now that I'm using an SSD, it just immediately starts shutting down without my being able to either prevent the event altogether, or say no. This also occurs when pressing the power button. This is despite having the following set: Applications Menu -> Settings Manager -> Power Manager -> General -> When power button is pressed: Ask When power button is pressed: Do nothing + + WORKAROUND: Don't click the Power button or jiggle the point where the + power cord meets the board.
