Public bug reported:
A fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.4 has GUI freezes frequently (i.e., a
dozen times daily) at inconsistent intervals and times, and not
obviously in response to any particular user input. The system then is
unresponsive to user input, although the mouse cursor does continue to
move about.
The syslog messages reveal the message from gsd-media-keys "[GFX1]:
Device reset due to WR context"
The freeze also is preceded by often hundreds of pulseaudio messages
related to latency issues, notwithstanding that no audio is playing.
Often, gdm-x-session messages appear referencing the NVIDIA GPU and
"WAIT". The pulseaudio message "setting avail_min=87496" often is the
last message and if not, one of the last, before the reboot.
Also common before is a gnome-shell message "Ignored exception from dbus
method: Gio.DBusError:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
com.gonzaarcr.appmenu was not provided by any .service files", which
precedes the pulseaudio messages.
Happy to provide any other information but would welcome some guidance
because I'm on day 11 or 12 of this installation and wearing out my
welcome at Google.
