I have a combination of errors reported elsewhere such as this logout problem and this boot problem. Only that in my case it happens twice upon boot. First time after thermal daemon has started, the second just before or at the logon screen. It is not the thermald service though, as stopping it does not change the logout behaviour. Moreover, the computer goes to sleep every time I switch to a terminal, i.e. press Ctrl+Alt+F1. Never happened on 14.04., witnessed something similar on a test installation of arch, though. Hardware is quite old. It is an Cebop Hel500 from 2005. That is based on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo, so basically the hardware is all Intel. I already tried to change the display manager (to slim), and I removed light-lock...in vain.

Unfortunately, this behaviour renders the use of 16.04. very unconfortable. Any ideas what causes this and - even more important - how to stop it?

....why-o-why did I upgrade...never change a running system!

Something known?

later I find this block:

The boot.log does not show any info about suspend or sleep.

An important point is that the sleep also take place if I start the computer with a debian jessie live stick. So I guess that it is a more fundamental problem not exclusively but including Ubuntu.

Even more info: I thought it might be a kernel problem, while Lubuntu has the 4.4, the debian live (lxde) has 3.16. Such has the Bunsenlabs Hydrogen, but there I do not witness the suspend.

Wrong: Bunsenlabs has the suspend problem, but not on login. A test installation shows it on logout and upon changing to tty1,2,3,etc, i.e. Crtl+Alt+F1 etc.

After checking once again the error messages including the dump of dmesg > dmesg.txt after boot, I found a discussion for Arch. After trying both options idependently it turns out that adding HandleLidSwitch=ignore to /etc/systemd/logind.conf did the trick. The also mentioned HandleSuspendKey=ignore was not necessary, though. Honestly, I consider this more a workaround than a solution. While the present problem is solved, hence, it remains unclear to me what actually changed from 14.04 to 16.04 to make it appear in the first place.

Cheers
