Getting logged off automatically after I connect external monitor and login
I have a sweet setup. I travel with my maxed out 13" Air and when I get to my home office I drop my Air into a Book Arc stand, jack in my 27" Apple Display MDP, USB, and power cord and enjoy OS/X in all its glory augmented only with an Apple BT Keyboard and Magic Trackpad (plus gobs of USB devices).
Twice in the last month when I jacked in and then logged in, I instantly get logged off. All my open applications that were happily suspended are killed instantly (not closed). I just lost 2 hours of work last night and had to wake up at 5:30AM to redo it (the 2nd attempt was actually better 🙂.
I should have typed "uptime" to determine if it was a reboot vs. instant log off. The login screen was the same I see after a resume from suspend, not the standard login from a new reboot. I suspect there was no reboot.
The only correlation I can make in both instances is that the battery was in the red and my machine may have been in deep sleep mode.
Any ideas? Thanks.
