18.10 when lid closed and opened again no keyboard

[silvagroup]

Using Dell Inspiron 7000 w/Intel corei7.
With 18.04 power settings had options for what to do when lid was closed.
Now available with Gnome-tweak in 18.10.
However does not work correctly.

Did Google search happening to others as well especially with detach keyboards which is not my case.

With 18.10 and tweak setting to suspend when lid closed, the system does suspend, however when lid is closed it appears that the on board keyboard gets totally dropped when lid is opened back up.

Have to use touch screen to switch user, then touch screen again at login to get a screen keyboard, sometimes I get the on board keyboard back, usually have to reboot to get on on board keyboard back.

If I power off or restart keyboard works fine.

Definite regression this has worked for several older versions of Ubuntu, at least on this system.

The previously posted log was from this nightmare:

This is a major bug in this regard, my system was totally unusable for an hour.

Had a phone call had to attend to and some items related top that, system turned off screen when I finally got back to my system, could not use the keyboard, touch screen was unresponsive, on screen keyboard would not activate, on board touch pad was unresponsive, Bluetooth mouse moved but clicks were unresponsive, even power button was unresponsive, again after an hour of messing with things was lucky enough to get an occasional touch screen keyboard and was finally able to a terminal and after 15 trying to get a touch screen keyboard was able to reboot.

This is a very serious regression, this worked absolutely great in 18.04.

Sorry it appear I haven't provided a log before this, but I did, didn't realize that for some reason the log and my detailed explanation of events actually wasn't posted.
