The new udev rule seems to have worked for me. Have 2 monitors connected which I use in an extended desktop. When rebooting with the lid down, the login screen comes up as it should, then it goes blank for a moment and comes back in mirrored mode. I then had to switch to extended mode after I logged back in the first time, but subsequent logins seem to switch back to extended mode after logging in automatically.
If I open the lid while logged in, it switches the screens around to use the newly active laptop one. If I then close it, it switches back to what it was before. Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450009 Title: [HP, Dell notebooks] suspends on closed lid, does not recognized external monitors/dock Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Using systemd as init system on a HP zbook15 notebook having 2 external monitors connected using a docking station and starting with lid closed the system goes to sleep after successfully booting and starting lightdm greeter. Sometimes there's enough time to enter username and password but system goes to sleep every time after a few seconds. The system can be woken up and used after this happens but it will not let me shutdown later. The problem is just present in docked situation starting with closed lid using systemd a init system. If notebook is used in non-docked situation with open lid and systemd the problem does not occur. Workaround: A switch back to upstart as init system resolves the issue.
