I have mouse, keyboard and external screen connected to the laptop, lid is closed. Right after boot I'm selecting user, typing password, pressing enter and after a few seconds laptop suspends (fan stopped, keyboard lights turned off). Pressing space on a keyboard wakes it up. MSI GL72 7RD, nvidia drivers installed 390.87, X11 ubuntu desktop session selected in login screen. Could be resolved if sleep is disabled on systemd side: sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1802696/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
