I am using 20.04 and my laptop keeps freezing before the login. What can I do now? I am having this issue from yesterday. There was a tty terminal available but there is nothing now. It all started when I installed a program called picom and after that my i3wm froze. I tried restarting my laptop but I couldn't get any desktop environment running. And now there is no login either.

I recently switched back to Ubuntu proper (20.04 version) from Peppermint 10. So, I installed my programs including kdenlive 20.08.3 which worked fine for about 1 month. Then started to freeze at or near the end of rendering (that is my laptop entire system would be frozen). But in addition other programs also were running slowly so I backed-up everything and re-installed Ubuntu. Now, everything is runn ...

My Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS freezes randomly, sometimes after 20 mins, sometimes after several hours.

This means I can't move the mouse nor do anything with my keyboard. If sound is playing it repeats in ~2 sec loop. No key-combination does anything; just a hard reboot with the PC power switch gets me to restart.

Over the last few days, for no reason I can tell (no recent big updates), I've been experiencing frequent instances of complete system freezes. The mouse won't move, no key combinations trigger, and cannot reboot with Alt+SyReq either. The only way to do anything is to hold down the power button until it powers off. After rebooting it freezes again, sometimes after many hours, sometimes after only a few ...

I have xrdp set up and I frequently remote into my laptop running Ubuntu from my Windows desktop. Last night I remoted normally and instead of logging out, I shutdown the computer remotely.

I've done this before so I would like to think this is insigni ...

After months of flawless use, yesterday Ubuntu 20.04 opened until the pink screen and then nothing. As nothing was responsive I could only press the power button long enough to close, and then restart, this time I got to the normal opening screen although it took much longer than normal. A minute later the mouse froze and I discovered that nothing worked. Doing the same thing again, I got to the point i ...

My kubuntu 20.04 installation often (about 8 out of 10 times) gets stuck during the boot process. Using nomodeset or any other parameter i've found on the internet doesn't seem to help. I'm in a dual boot configuration. I've also removed the quiet splash parameters in the grub menu to see if i could get some information that way, the boot process seems to freeze at a different step every time.

Running two copies of Audacity simultaneously may cause data loss or cause your system to crash." But I can't detect another copy.

So, I installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on a new Lenovo E 15 Thinkpad and I'm experiencing issues with Zoom. Every time I join a new meeting the video freezes after some time (usually a couple of minutes).

My laptop started hanging several days ago, this is the last message it prints. I am running Ubuntu 21.10. What can be done to make this work again without having to disable updates?

I can't seem to figure out the exact cause of the freezing. It seems to happen most often during video playback (Hulu, Netflix) in fullscreen mode and during gameplay through steam, but it's also frozen during normal web browsing and just moving around in the file manager and terminal. The screen will freeze and the last second or two of audio will loop. The keyboard is unresponsive but I can sometimes  ...
