Just want to remind us that this was NOT AN ISSUE UNTIL after the September 2020 Ubuntu 20.04 updates that included the updates to 20.04.1. Therefore I have trouble with dismissing it as a known, unaddressed hardware issue. If so, why did it work fine prior to those updates? No: there were several old bugs (things that were fixed in Ubuntu in months even years past) that came back after those September updates. For example, the initramfs issues (and I just saw a number of initramfs-related updates in the most recent 20.04.1 updates) that have had to be fixed again.
Going by the old adage of what changed last: this sure looks and feels like software rather than hardware... And George: yes this is on "initial" startup in the dock. I typically let the system run and just use screen blanking when it's docked; then do a shutdown when I'm leaving the office. I don't typically use suspend when it's docked; but when I have (to test) it has resumed normally: I press the spacebar to get the login prompt; enter the login; and the desktop reappears. I also don't hot dock or undock. That's part of the reason I don't suspend in the dock: if using suspend that way, then most likely the laptop will be undocked and re-docked while in suspend. So it will resume in a different configuration. Yes that should work, but I try not to "invite" trouble(!) -- 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/1841826 Title: Going to sleep instead of logging in while lid closed & external display Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have the above described problem, which seems to be very similar to bug #1716160 - laptop is in docking station and 2 monitors are connected (HDMI, DVI) - If the lid is closed and I boot the laptop I can input my credentials in the login screen and after hitting ENTER the laptop goes to sleep - If I then press the power button of the docking station the laptop wakes up and goes straight to the ubuntu environment w/o any user identification The device is a Lenovo T420 with classic docking station. Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Internal graphics Intel integrated grafics and dedicated Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M with propriety driver 390.116. Behavior independent of the graphics used. I do not know what to do now since the latest state of bug #1716160 is "fix released" and so I guess it should be part of the ubuntu version I use? Thank you very much.
