ThinkPad T400 sleeps immediately after login in Xorg sessions, but not Wayland

[davileon]

After pressing power button (and after upgrade to focal), PC starts up normally.
After I enter authentication, though, it shuts down, apparently into sleep mode/suspend/hibernate.
Pressing powerbutton again brings up normal desktop and normal use right away. Possibly this is a bug against kernel or gdm3.

Does the same problem happen if you select 'Ubuntu on Wayland' from the login screen?

[davileon (davileon)]

Thanks! The same problem does not happen if I select 'Ubuntu on Wayland' from the login screen.

[Tim Wetzel (twetzel21)]

Daniel, please see also bug #1897185. Quite similar. And when I searched for information on the suspend on login password problem, I also found #1481442, 1589593, and 1626689 which *may* be related. I see this on Thinkpad T570 in a mechanical dock with external HDMI display and external USB keyboard and mouse; laptop is running lid closed. I also see it intermittently on a T440s, same configuration. On startup in that mode, as soon as I enter the password at the login, the machine suspends.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thanks Tim, maybe we should use bug 1897185.

davileon, are you using a dock and starting with the laptop lid closed?

[davileon (davileon)]

Hi Tim, hi Daniel,
Yes, I do use a dock and start with lid closed.
