          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 75461
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: latest git master forcefully suspends my laptop while
                    docked
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: critical
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: tittiatcoke at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

The latest git mastor of systemd (upcoming version 210) got some changes with
regards to the handling of the situation where the lid of the laptop is closed.
This however has a nasty side effect as that laptops that are docked have
normally their lid closed. 

I already reported this to Lennart and his indication is that this should be
fixed in the kernel (setting event SD_DOCK) or by the desktop environment. 

Unfortunately systemd starts already suspending the laptop during the boot
process, long before I reach the login manager. This means that practically I
can no longer boot my laptop while it is docked without opening the lid. As
that I have an external monitor, this is a bit of a ridiculous situation. 

I already raised a bug for the kernel, but I do not expect a fast reply on that
nor a fix.  Raising a bug for the desktop environment (as suggested by Lennart)
would be strange as that NO desktop environment is running at that time. The
only process that is in full control at that moment is systemd (system boot
time).
