I hibernate with the lid open (docked or undocked). I resume with the lid closed, and docked. After logging in, the system will suspend (sleep) on its own, each and every time I attempt to resume. Finally, I had to open the lid, resume, log in, and do a full shut down. That, just so that I could close the lid when shut down and docked, and start up normally. Are you kidding me?

You system seems confused as to why you want don't want it to sleep when the lid is closed. You can try disabling the feature that suspends the laptop when closing the lid. The downside to this is that you'll have to suspend it manually.

Open a terminal and edit the logind.conf file using gksudo gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Look for the line that says HandleLidSwitch=.

Change this line from whatever it is, to HandleLidSwitch=ignore and make sure it's not commented out (Make sure there's no # symbol before it).

Save and close the file.

Now back in terminal, run sudo restart systemd-logind. You can also double-check the "Power" options in the control center to make sure nothing is telling it to sleep with the lid closed.

Try closing the lid, it should now do nothing. Just make sure to remember to suspend it manually when you want it to by using the power menu in the top right corner of the screen, on the Unity panel.
