Public bug reported: Upon upgrading linux-image-generic and linux-header-generic from version 4.15.0.43.45 to version 4.15.0.44.46, my Lenovo Thinkpad T480s no longer works when plugged into its docking station. Symptoms seem similar to those described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- firmware/+bug/1811860, but downgrading firmware has no effect.
What I expected to happen: When plugging my laptop into the docking station, the touchpad, keyboard and mouse are responsive, and internal and external displays work. What happened: When plugging my laptop into the docking station, the touchpad, keyboard and mouse where unresponsive. External display was black and internal display was frozen. Unplugging the laptop did not have any effect. Hard reboot by holding the power button was required. After booting into 4.15.0-43-generic and removing linux- image-4.15.0-44-generic and linux-headers-4.15.0-44-generic, the problem disappears. Should anyone else wish to follow the same steps until the problem is resolved, make sure you do not try to remove the kernel that you are currently on. That is, do not run the command sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.15.0-44-generic linux- headers-4.15.0-44-generic unless you booted into an older kernel.
