So with your findings a docking station is not necessary to reproduce behavior. When the issue happens, the keyboard is "dead", even an Alt+Ctrl+Del is not going through. But I can log in remotely, so the system is mostly working except for a dead keyboard and mouse and only background color + a mouse pointer visible on screen. Also noticed that the gnome-shell gdm attempts to start consumes 100% CPU. To add more details, if I have the laptop lid open, bios and grub are visible on screen, but when gdm is started, keyboard, mouse and gdm stop working as described. If I start with the laptop lid closed, bios and grub are also visible on the VGA screen, which then goes to power save mode immediately after completing grub. As I have to type in the hard disk password, I do that completely in the blind, but in this setup I get a gdm screen up and running with working keyboarda and mouse! After selecting my user id and typing my password, the laptop decides to go to power saving sleep mode(!) immediately. Waking it up gets the system back to gdm login screen, and logging in gets the laptop into power saving again. This scenario repeats then infinitely. So with grub/bios screen and keyboard work, but when the kernel and X takes over, it is not setup correctly at all.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
