Public bug reported:
Since upgrading to Xenial, about 80% of the time when I dock my thinkpad
laptop I get a complete system freeze. The symptoms of the freeze are:
* The two external monitors connected to the dock seem to be in a half-
configured state - they're powered on, and display some graphics from my
desktop, but do not yet show the correct contents.
* I can't get to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1.
* I can't kill X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
* I can't get the mouse cursor to appear or move, either with the
trackpad or the external mouse.
* Undocking the laptop doesn't help.
The only thing I *can* do at this point is to hold down the power
button.
I seem to recall similar issues in the past (perhaps in Vivid?), where
the fix ended up being in the graphics driver.
The laptop is a T540p. The docking station is an "ultra dock pro" - not
a USB dock, but rather one of those ones where the laoptop clicks into a
base.
This bug makes the docking station rather useless, and makes me sad :(
