Since upgrading to Ubuntu 20.10 on my Dell XPS 9380, I now experience an unwanted sleep immediately after login. It seems to only occur when I am at my office, where I use dual 1440p displays connected via USB-C, and close my laptop lid immediately after power-on.
Previously, the system would boot and use my external displays without issue. Now very shortly after I login, my system goes to sleep. My workaround is to simply open the lid until I see a screen, and close it, and then everything returns to normal.
A excerpt from attached dmest shows wireless ready at 21s and then deauthenticating at 34s after I login.
Output from systemctl confirms my wakeup from a sleep state using my open-lid method described above. For anyone else on a 9380, it is worth noting my hostname identifies an older 9365 XPS model I had previously.

Dec 10 09:00:57 imac-XPS-13-9365 systemd[1]: Stopped target Sleep.
I assume it must be something to do with gdm not detecting external monitors after login, however I do not close the lid, so I am still not sure why a sleep state is triggered. Current packages listed below.
