Public bug reported: Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools
When enabling battery polling in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/battery-level- polling.conf, switching to battery results in crashing the laptop with 100% CPU usage, most of it being IOWait. Using htop I was able to see a lot of laptop-mode battery-related processes running just before crashing. When the laptop crashes, it usually has very high HDD usage and is unresponsive to any keys. Magic SysRq key always works in rebooting the laptop. I was able to fix this by disabling battery level polling.
