Hi,

I'm having this annoying behaviour from GDM (or something related).

Quite ofter, after the GDM login screen appears, the host freezes
completely: every input device is unresponsive, no ssh connection from
another host is possible any more, no CTRL+ALT+CANC/F1-F6 is working.

But the same happens also while I'm typing the username or the
password, or after the login screen disappears because the login was
successful, or even a bit after the dash has appeared at the bottom of
the screen.

Looking at boot.log, the last line before the next boot reads "[ OK ]
Started gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager".

Looking at syslog instead, the lines are not always the same, but
usually there is something like this:

2024-03-27T17:57:25.479168+01:00 SW-GIULIANO /usr/libexec/gdm-x-
session[1831]: (II) Initializing extension RECORD
2024-03-27T17:57:25.479455+01:00 SW-GIULIANO /usr/libexec/gdm-x-
session[1831]: (II) Initializing extension DPMS
2024-03-27T17:57:25.479734+01:00 SW-GIULIANO /usr/libexec/gdm-x-
session[1831]: (II) Initializing ext2024-03-27T17:58:25.469753+01:00
SW-GIULIANO systemd-modules-load[394]: Inserted module 'lp'

microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xf4, date = 2023-02-23

Please note how the third line suddenly ends with "ext", followed
immediately by the first line written by the next boot sequence.

The"gdm-x-session" lines above are just the last of a very long list. I
can provide other logs if requested.

Any hint would be veri appreciated.

Best regards.
