See comment #5 above. Yes, the nVidia driver may appear to be a common denominator BUT... I've seen the issue trigger apparently due to other things loading as opposed to nVidia's third party driver, so it may not be anything in the nVidia driver per se. The occurrences due to other utilities (like Dropbox or Logitech drivers) make me suspect a timing issue??? That something in the load sequence after logging in is timing out due to additional drivers and/or the timing "overhead" of a dock being present. And I say that because the same configuration on the same machine loads fine (no suspend at login) when used standalone out of the dock; but the issue recurs as soon as the machine is started back in the dock.
And yes, this is both consistent and frustrating! -- 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/1841826 Title: Going to sleep instead of logging in while lid closed & external display Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have the above described problem, which seems to be very similar to bug #1716160 - laptop is in docking station and 2 monitors are connected (HDMI, DVI) - If the lid is closed and I boot the laptop I can input my credentials in the login screen and after hitting ENTER the laptop goes to sleep - If I then press the power button of the docking station the laptop wakes up and goes straight to the ubuntu environment w/o any user identification The device is a Lenovo T420 with classic docking station. Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Internal graphics Intel integrated grafics and dedicated Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M with propriety driver 390.116. Behavior independent of the graphics used. I do not know what to do now since the latest state of bug #1716160 is "fix released" and so I guess it should be part of the ubuntu version I use? Thank you very much.
