I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 23.04.
- Used the new installer.
- One 4TB SSD disk with LUKS encryption.
I use the application VideoHubApp, which scans a directory for movies and makes previews.
When I leave this running, most often, this leads to a system freeze, the system restarts automatically, and the next login ends with a login loop.
I can get out of the login loop by re-installing ubuntu-desktop
.
sudo su -
apt remove -y ubuntu-desktop;
apt update;
apt dist-upgrade;
apt autoremove;
apt clean;
apt install -y --fix-missing ubuntu-desktop;
reboot
I did this already 4 times and thinking of writing a script for that :D
But I would prefer to know why the system froze. I can't find anything suspicious in the journalctl
- at least not what's not there on normal boots.
How can I investigate what is happening and what prevents Ubuntu to let me log in after such freeze?
If that matters, as the last thing before this started happening, I installed FUSE and NodeJS which the VideoHubApp needs (not sure why FUSE).
- Lenovo T540p, 16 GB RAM, 4 GB swap.
- Also froze with Ubuntu 20.04 when running this app, but the login loop did not occur.
- 4K display with 150 % fractional scaling
- Not modifications except installing some dev packages - Docker, VirtualBox, etc.
I have seen this question:
Ubuntu 23.04 Fresh Install Login Loop
But that's not my case - I have just /boot
and /
, and home dir is within the same partition with /
.
