Public bug reported: After installing gdm, selecting it as the display manager and rebooting, after X loads(I can see the Ubuntu splash screen for a bried second) the laptop screen powers down. I can switch to a different tty and it powers back up and I can login to that tty. If I dock my laptop(lenovo t530) the external displays work with gdm as the display manager but the laptop monitor still powers down.
