laptop (docked w/ lid closed) suspends after login

[EAB]

I installed 20.04 on my Thinkpad T440p laptop (previously 18.04). As with 18.04 I boot up the laptop with it docked and with the lid closed, however with 20.04 something new happens right after user login ... the laptop goes into suspend and has to be woken up by pressing the power button on the dock. This behavior is new and did not happen with 18.04.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you add your 'journalctl -b 0' log after getting the issue? Does it suspend if you start with the screen open and close the lid after login?

Attaching journalctl output.

"Does it suspend if you start with the screen open and close the lid after login?"

-> Laptop off and docked with lid open
-> Power on, boot into Ubuntu and login
-> Close lid on laptop
-> Laptop suspends
-> Open lid on laptop
-> Laptop wakes up and login screen is presented

Why is this bug still marked as "Incomplete"?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug was still incomplete because triagers are busy and no-one got to review it again

I just setup a Thinkpad P14s with Ubuntu 20.04 and have the exact same problem as with the T440p. Here is the journalctl output

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
