@khurshid-alam I don't think that a normal user should have to disable stuff after a fresh install i.o. to make ubuntu work. I believe that this should be patched here and the patch should be forwarded upstream.
@cagara You seem to have the same problem as I have. Though my problem is deterministic: after login (enter password and enter) I see the desktop for 1 second and then the external monitor & laptop goes sleep. You can wake up the computer by pressing the power button on the docking station. You then have to enter the password and enter again to get into the desktop. The laptop should not sleep anymore.

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.
