I have been encountering this problem for about a month. The appearance of the problem doesn’t align with any updates.
There is no consistency in the points where the system faces a hard crash: sometimes, it happens on system startup right after GRUB, during the kernel load process and sometimes even on the desktop.
journalctl -b
doesn’t show any errors as this happens at seemingly random points. Here are a couple of pictures from the times the system fails to boot and crashes with absolutely no response to any input:
But roughly 1/10 times that the system boots into the desktop and stays there for more than a minute without any incident, it continues functioning as expected. I have already tried setting different kernel options from GRUB and using the LTS kernel but had no luck.
Update: It’s getting worst, happening more on DE and rendering the system completely unusable.
Can it be caused by bad filesystem?
It’s not happening at a fixed stage of the boot, therefore I don’t think it has anything to do with the disk.
It got worse, fully locks up even when in tty (after 10-15 restarts managed to get to tty) and doing nothing.
Can’t get Into desktop to ckeck for any disk problems.
