Posted this detail upstream at Plymouth in hopes it may help: So I did 3 things yesterday: I applied all Ubuntu Updates; turned the splash screen back on; and reverted from the third-party nVidia drivers back to the open source driver. Then rebooted. This was the first time in a month that I was able to get past these problems. Today, with no further changes, the suspend on login is back. As with the spinning logo, it occurs when laptops are docked and running lid down with external HDMI display as primary along with external keyboard and mouse. I hope that this may help in pinning these down? Thank you.

The modules should show in the report just submitted. Also, updates to initramfs had just installed a few days ago. Kudos in that these updates fixed two login/startup issues: I'd been affected by the compression change for initramfs and had started getting the spinning ubuntu circle on the logon splash screen, apparently due to an nvidia driver conflict. I'd turned the splash screen to nosplash, and have now been able to set it back to splash. Both of those issues now appear to be fixed. BUT now when I start Ubuntu with the T570 laptop docked, lid closed, external display and keyboard via the dock: as soon as I enter the login password and press enter, the system goes into suspend. If I then press the dock power button again, the system will resume and proceed normally. It seems that the new startup modules don't realize that the machine is docked; and/or that it erroneously now "detects" the closed lid as a change in lid state during startup, triggering suspend. Prior to today's updates, this was not an issue. I would appreciate seeing this corrected. Thank you.
