Public bug reported:
So, with a Dell Precision 7530 outfitted with an AMD GPU, I can run into
issues relating to systemd not detecting that my laptop is docked.
This results in my booting the system, getting the login prompt on my
external displays, logging in, and having the system immediately
suspend.
This only happens when the BIOS has the displays being driven by the AMD
GPU instead of the integrated Intel GPU.
And the reason why this happens is that the amdgpu driver names the
outputs differently, specifically I end up with names like
DisplayPort-1-7.
The problem is that src/login/logind-core.c, in function
manager_count_external_displays, uses the following to detect external
displays (starting at line 561 at the moment):
FOREACH_STRING(i, "VGA-", "DVI-I-", "DVI-D-", "DVI-A-"
"Composite-", "SVIDEO-", "Component-",
"DIN-", "DP-", "HDMI-A-", "HDMI-B-", "TV-") {
if (startswith(dash, i)) {
external = true;
break;
}
}
As "DisplayPort-" is not on the list, logind decides that I must not be using
an external display, so I'm probably not docked.
This is somewhat sub-optimal.
This is on Ubuntu 18.04, systemd package version 237-3ubuntu10.12.
