**My Hardware & Software** --- Hardware : **HP Elitebook 2570p** ... Docking Station : **HP 2570 A9B77AA Docking Station** Software : **Debian based Linux Deepin V20.x** --- Thanks to Debian and Deepin, the docking station worked out of the box, it connects and works fine(USB ports and VGA ports have been tested) ... eSata however i've not been able to get it working(would appreciate if anybody directed me to a place which can help be get this working as well). As already stated connection and working is not an issue, But disconnecting and getting my laptop working off of the docking is big challenge to the point of Nightmare. I fear the Deepin's window manager(which uses KWIN)/Display Server may be causing this. **What I would look forward from the community ?** As the disconnection from my docking station isn't working, I would appreciate if the community helped me get my laptop dispossessed of the docking station high it goes into. When there is a power outage, its the worst of nightmares, as my laptop is rendered unusable until the power is back. besides of course disengaging the docking slider which also renders the laptop unusable. Any probing commands whose output you'd like to see off of my system, kindly post those commands in the comments section and i'll append my question with the additional data to help the community better diagnose the issue. Currently I've fiddle with the command kwin_x11 --replace - to restart kwin killall dde-dock - to reload the dock invoke the KB shortcut to toggle 'Windows Effect' setting ... in no specific order, sometimes it works and most other times it does not. Thanks for looking into the issue, appreciate and look forward to a way(a script or a set of commands that will let me disconnect my laptop from the docking station especially when there is a power outage) a bypass of sorts.
