Summary: Ubuntu completely freezes at seemingly random times, leaving no trace in logs, and is not related to any specific desktop environment or GNOME extensions. Yet another update! - Even with all GNOME extensions disabled, it still crashed. I don't know if this is related, but sometimes (and especially after booting) programs take a significant amount of time (> 5-10 seconds), even command line programs. Update: The system logs show no indication of anything at all happening, let alone something wrong. I'm currently using the open source driver.Īll that I typically have open is Firefox (not a ton of tabs loaded) and VS Code, with at most a couple files and a terminal open. I was originally using the open source nVidia driver, and switched to the proprietary to no avail. I have attempted to switch graphics drivers, on the theory that it may be that. Every time, I must resort to SysRq + R E I S U B, which is (obviously) not preferred. Naturally, I have tried switching to a TTY session with no success. I cannot move the cursor or use the keyboard. Recently, under 17.10 and 18.04 (I just upgraded today), Ubuntu will randomly and completely freeze. I don't believe this is an issue related to Ubuntu, but rather VS Code.
