See updated blog post which describes the issue and offers a workaround (latest discoveries in update 3): http://it- tactics.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-1004-with-docking-station.html -- docking station and closed lid does not disable notebook screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
