As far as my knowledge goes, Intel GPU drivers are updated VIA kernel releases and so. I was googling around for similar errors, which occur to people using dual GPU or just Intel GPU. And so far, the best solution is to downgrade to the kernel version that was released on Ubuntu 20.01 ( not sure what version it was ). But, so far, I didn't try that.

I'm thinking of upgrading kernel 5.14.xx. ( using ukuu app ) If so, what version is stable?

Or do I downgrade to some kernel version? And again, what is one to go so?

At first, I thought my GPU would be a happy place and needed to replace MBO. PIC of freeze: https://ibb.co/ZVybnt6 When it freeze, the only thing that helps is force power-off. I'm not good at log files, so not sure how to provide them. ( if they get recorded at all )

This issue was reported as a kernel bug and so far was not fixed. If any have some words of wisdom, please share it or how to deal with it...

As promised, here's the info about adding a 4G /swapfile to your system.

It's a bit more complicated as you already have a LVM swap partition, but this will create an additional /swapfile, and will allow you to go back to the prior setup if this doesn't help with the problem.

Note: Incorrect use of the rm and dd commands can cause data loss. Suggest copy/paste.

In the terminal...

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=4096

sudo chmod 600 /swapfile  # set proper file protections
sudo mkswap /swapfile     # init /swapfile

Edit /etc/fstab, using sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab or sudo pico /etc/fstab.

Leave this line alone...

/dev/mapper/vgubuntu--budgie-swap_1 none            swap    sw              0       0

Add this additional /swapfile line to the bottom of /etc/fstab... use SPACES in this line... confirm NO TABS...

/swapfile  none  swap  sw  0  0

swapon -a # start all swap locations

swapon -s # confirm two swap locations, /swapfile and /dev/dm-2

reboot # reboot and verify operation
