Tessa, I know it's confusing but the way LaunchPad works is that you may still be suffering from a bug even after it shows as "Fix Released". This is because the fix has been released in the latest Ubuntu 17.10 (only). As you are using Ubuntu 17.04 you don't yet have the fix, we know.
I have nominated 17.04 to receive the fix for you, but it is not always guaranteed that a fix will get backported to previous releases. Still, the right place to discuss the problem is here. Only if someone still experiences the problem in 17.10 should a new separate bug be opened. -- 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.
