Possibly related to bug #1968208, which I reported today: frozen gnome- shell after logging in/unlocking.
This new bug would indicate that gnome-shell indeed randomly crashes. The behaviour is inconsistent, though. Sometimes it does not crash at all, at other times it does but it does not always cause the desktop to freeze. I can add a photo, as your requested, but I wonder whether that would add anything. The lock screen is simply the log-in screen that traditionally comes up when the system is booted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1967885 Title: blanking locks screen although screen lock is disabled Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I disabled screen lock from Settings > Privacy > Screen. Even so, I am forced to log in any time my screen has blanked. When I inspect dconf-editor (org.gnome.desktop.lockdown), I see that locking is indeed active. This looks like a discrepancy between the settings mechanism and dconf.
