I can also confirm that bug on the latest 17.10. It is getting old! I got a T460p attached to a docking station. Whenever I try to log in, the laptop goes into sleep mode. The only way to get to the Desktop is to repeatedly press the power button and try to login in until it eventually - yet not deterministically - works.
I am a bit intimidated by the fact that other people with this problem are not being taken seriously. To clarify once again: this is not a configuration issue! We do not need to set anything in ubuntu-tweak-tool because - and here, I can only speak for myself - we really do want the sleep on lid close function; just not with a docking station attached. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716160 Title: System goes to sleep with external monitor and lid closed after login Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gdm3 source package in Artful: Invalid Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Artful: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Artful: Invalid Bug description: Using a laptop with lid closed and an external monitor, you can boot. Bios will show on the external monitor, as well as gdm when boot is finished. You can then choose a user and type in your password, which is accepted. But then, system goes to sleep (as the lid is cloesd I guess). Going out of sleep with the power button shows the gnome shell.
