Ubuntu Freezing due to wifi driver issues

in flag

I have been using Ubuntu 20.04 for couple of months and suddenly my laptop started freezing randomly to the point it is a problem to normal usage. I have a dual boot with windows as the other OS and it works with no freezing problems. I tried to figure out what was wrong. I found that the logs of the last boot can be accessed by the command

sudo journalctl -b -1 -e

The log shows that my wifi driver is having issues doing authentication on the network. Here is the dump of the relevant part.

So the next thing I tried was changing the version of kernel. I tried couple of different version from the latest ones to the old ones, but the problem still persisted. Next I downgraded to ubuntu 18.04 with a clean install and the problem still persists. Should I try to update the wifi driver?

I don't think the freezing is because of wifi, disconnect some USB devices

@Jeremy31 I have a usb mouse which i disconnected but I still faced the same issue.

Then there might be a problem with your sd card reader as it is connecting and disconnecting a lot

I didn't realize it was the sd card reader until you mentioned, so i tried to remove the hardware but unfortunately two of my screws won't budge so couldn't reach to the physical hardware. So for now I have disabled the hardware using the command mentioned here [link](https://karlcode.owtelse.com/blog/2017/01/09/disabling-usb-ports-on-linux/), I hope it works, will update. Thank you!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
