[Bug 1967703] Re: tlp causing sudden shutdowns, followed by reboot

[DiagonalArg]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 20.04.
  Thinkpad W530.
  
  I had `tlp` installed with acpi-call-dkms, which led to errors as described here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-call/+bug/1953261/
  
  (Some details are available there with my posts.)
  
  I removed these two packages and then took the advice of @linrunner to use the PPA to install tlp 1.5.0-2.  I did not install acpi-call-dkms 1.2.2, figuring I'd just wait for kernel 5.17:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-call/+bug/1953261/comments/21
  
  The result on first use after `tlp` install, was that I had a sudden
  shutdown followed by reboot.  I didn't have a battery in my laptop and
  so assumed the power had gone out.  So, I shut down, put the battery in
  and restarted with the laptop connected to AC.  After some time (2
  hours?) I had another sudden shutdown/ reboot.  They both felt as if the
  power plug had been pulled.  It was at the third shutdown/reboot that I
  decided to remove `tlp`.  I haven't had a problem since.
+ 
+ `tlp` is no longer installed, so `apport-collect` isn't allowing me to
+ collect any more information.  Let me know if there's something else I
+ can do.

  tlp causing sudden shutdowns, followed by reboot

Bug description:

  I had `tlp` installed with acpi-call-dkms, which led to errors as described here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-call/+bug/1953261/

  (Some details are available there with my posts.)

  I removed these two packages and then took the advice of @linrunner to use the PPA to install tlp 1.5.0-2.  I did not install acpi-call-dkms 1.2.2, figuring I'd just wait for kernel 5.17:

  The result on first use after `tlp` install, was that after a couple
  of hours, I had a sudden shutdown followed by reboot.  I didn't have a
  battery in my laptop and so assumed the power had gone out.  So, I
  shut down, put the battery in and restarted with the laptop connected
  to AC.  After some time (2 hours?) I had another sudden shutdown/
  reboot.  They both felt as if the power plug had been pulled.  It was
  at the third shutdown/reboot that I decided to remove `tlp`.  I
  haven't had a problem since.

  `tlp` is no longer installed, so `apport-collect` isn't allowing me to
  collect any more information.  Let me know if there's something else I
  can do.
