My friend and me have same problem. Kubuntu GUI freeze issue. When GUI freeze we can move mouse cursor but could not click anywhere. Keyboard is not working except switching to ASCII console with Ctrl+Alt+F2. ASCII console is working properly. We have to switch ASCII console and then reboot laptops when this issue occur

This problem is occuring every couple of days since last 2-3 months, sometimes twice a day. We tried many things but no progress.

We are thinking consider to switch linux distrubution because both laptop is our working environment.

Each of you should ask your own question. What is the version of Ubuntu?

You should check syslog for any related error messages just during the freeze.

I believe this is an issue with MESA 22.2.x. It can be resolved by upgrading to MESA 22.3.0 or later. See:

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.
