[Bug 1896137] Re: syslog flooded with "Lockdown: systemd-logind: hibernation is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7"

[Gerald Gilbert-Thorple]

by unmasking sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-
sleep.target,  and allowing for suspend on lid closure in login.conf, I
was able to make the problem go away, but why should I be forced to
this?

Title:
  syslog flooded with "Lockdown: systemd-logind: hibernation is
  restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7"

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I close the lid on my laptop, syslog goes crazy with the message

  systemd-logind: hibernation is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

  repeated ad infinitum, using up all the CPU and GBs of disk space.  I
  am not even trying to hibernate; everything in /etc/systemd/login.conf
  is commented out.  So nothing much should happen when I close the lid,
  but systemd is trying to kill me with these messages.  I am running
  Ubuntu 20.04.
