Shutdown/reboot/logout triggers standby on lenovo x230 with lid closed on docking station

[James Page]

I generally use my x230 attached to a docking station + external monitor etc.

Using the restart or shutdown options from with Ubuntu results in the laptop going into standby mode if the lid of the laptop is closed.

Opening the lid wakes up OK at which point the requested action does complete.

The lid is already closed - I'm shutting down using an external monitor.

Hi James, Did this just start happening after a recent upgrade? Can you also test the latest mainline kernel to see if it happens there as well:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11-rc5-saucy/

[James Page (james-page)]

Hi Joseph

Not sure exactly when it started happening - I'll test with the mainline kernel as well but its still present in the most recent kernel in Saucy.

I also noticed that 'logout' exhibits the same behaviour - which makes me think this might not actually be a kernel issue at all.

I'll test the mainline kernel in #5

Joseph

I was unable to test with the mainline kernel (using efi boot) but I did revert back to an old 3.8 kernel I still had installed and I see the same issues.

As I stated in #6 I'm not convinced this is actually a kernel issue - raising a task for unity as well.
