Basically is the same issue: I have a life book h760 with a docking station attached to it. The laptop is closed and two external monitors are attached to the docking station. After booting, the GDM appears on the correct monitors. After entering the password, one gets to gnome desktop and the desktop then goes into standby.
One has to press the turn on button on the docking station to wake up the laptop. All settings are default. All updates done. As far as I understood this is the exactly reported bug here. The gnome tweak tool is also set to default settings (done nothing there) -- 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/1716160 Title: System goes to sleep with external monitor and lid closed after login Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gdm3 source package in Artful: Invalid Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Artful: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Artful: Invalid Bug description: Using a laptop with lid closed and an external monitor, you can boot. Bios will show on the external monitor, as well as gdm when boot is finished. You can then choose a user and type in your password, which is accepted. But then, system goes to sleep (as the lid is cloesd I guess). Going out of sleep with the power button shows the gnome shell.
