[Bug 1897185] Re: login triggers suspend after update

2020-10-10 Thread Tim Wetzel
Two additional observations on this bug:
-This bug is becoming more persistent on the second machine (the first one is 
completely sidelined due to all this; an attempt to reload Ubuntu on it failed 
due to bug 1871268).
-I looked back: this problem of going into suspend as soon as the login 
password is entered started on September 24. Immediately before that, Ubuntu 
Updater installed updates to grub, nvidia drivers (which are needed on the 
first machine affected), and some other modules. This update came about a week 
after an earlier one that had updated initramfs modules.

This whole situation started a day or two before September 14: one the
14th, I noted the hang on spinning circle during startup and initramfs
errors had just started. At that time, I was able to work around those 2
by disabling the splash screen and re-creating the ram drive with the
initramfs tools. But since the subsequent updates, Ubuntu effectively
became unusable on my main machine. It is touch and go on my backup
machine.And those workarounds no longer work either.

This login triggers suspend problem has no workaround for me. PLEASE fix
this!

This morning, this bug affected a second machine here. Updater ran on
Oct 1. This is the same machine that started having ACPI errors after
the boot hanging when docked with an external display (#1872159). These
problems seem to be interrelated: #1872159, 1835660, 1897185. And as
stability deteriorates and you try to reinstall, you get bug #1871268.
Bad and getting worse.

[Bug 1897185] Re: login triggers suspend after update

2020-10-02 Thread Tim Wetzel
This bug continues to recur even after a fresh reinstallation of Ubuntu.
After working through the installation crash (bug 1871268) by using the
latest daily image; trying unsuccessfully to get rid of the still
recurring initramfs errors (bug 1835660); and disabling the splash
screen to avoid the dreaded spinning Ubuntu logo hang during boot (bug
1872159); the system, when docked, still went into suspend immediately
after entering the login password during startup. This occurred on a
T570 with dual boot (Windows 10 and Ubuntu freshly installed from the
latest focal daily-live current image). Downgrading the nVidia driver
also failed: once I did that, the system wouldn't boot at all. It just
stopped at a blinking cursor on an otherwise black screen.

None of these things were issues until the middle of September updates;
and after the big 20.04.1 update about a week ago, things got really
bad.

Be advised that installing from an earlier version (in this case 20.04
images from May and June of this year) also does not work: these
installs fail on the same crash as the current 20.04.1 image (bug
1871268).

This problem of the machine, docked with an external display as primary
(laptop lid down), appears to be a recurrence of previous bugs that were
thought to be fixed. Please address ASAP. Thank you.

[Bug 1897185] Re: login triggers suspend after update

2020-09-24 Thread Tim Wetzel
Additional observations:
1. This bug is interacting with another: where the "short name" of the user 
(the Home file name) rather than the full user name is showing up on the login 
screen. Usually the short name shows up on this machine when it is docked. When 
the laptop is being used by itself, the full name shows up. ONLY ONCE tonight 
has the full name shown up at login in the dock... and when it did, the machine 
did not suspend.
2. This bug is also affecting automatic WiFi connection. When the machine 
suspends and I press power again to resume it (on the dock), it connects to 
WiFi as it should. But on that one occasion where the full user name showed up 
and it did not suspend, it cannot find the WiFi network security credentials 
even though they are stored. Very strange.
3. In working with this tonight, the spinning ubuntu logo hang came back during 
login. Since I know that initramfs was updated shortly before the kernel and 
nvidia updates, I created a new initramfs image. I also had to update that new 
image explicitly with a second execution of the update-initramfs command. I 
turned the splash screen back off, and verified that refreshing the ramdrive 
has once again cleared the initramfs deconding errors.
4. So the changes to initramfs, to the core/kernel, and to the nvidia drivers 
don't seem to be getting along with each other too well.
I hope this helps.
