Update: this is still acting up, even after the kernel update and Intel microcode updates of Nov 11 and Nov 12 respectively. Given those updates, I tested to see whether this bug is still there. Unfortunately, it is.
This is a ThinkPad T570, docked, using external HDMI display (via the dock) as primary. Also external Lenovo keyboard and mouse, obviously. By simply re-selecting the proprietary nVidia driver for the discrete graphics, the system goes into suspend as soon as the login password is entered. These drivers worked just fine until the Ubuntu update issues in September. I tried 2 different versions of the nVidia driver; both continue to cause this bug as has been the case since I opened this bug report. I have also seen this bug triggered by automatic loading of the Dropbox app (which I am keeping turned off until this is fixed); by a Logitech USB wireless mouse (on a T480 configuration); and after a few occurrences even by just the loading of the gnome shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897185 Title: Laptop docked with lid closed, goes to sleep immediately on login Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 20.04's software updater just applied quite a few updates affecting grub and nvidia. 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.
