> 1. You don't have an integrated GPU, do you? I am reminded of bug 1705369.
No I'm running the i7-7820X which has no option for integrated GPU. Motherboard MSI X299 SLI PLUS. > 2. In case something is crashing, check /var/crash for files and run 'ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash' on each. And tell us here the IDs of new bugs created. There appear to be some crashes but not from yesterday. Last week I had been seeing some UI crashes when the desktop was sitting idle after logged in (before I started using it as my main PC). I had installed the nvidia drivers which seemed to prevent the crashes. Though perhaps I was wrong. How do I find the IDs for bugs created? $ ll /var/crash/ total 26700 drwxrwsrwt 1 root whoopsie 776 May 10 00:06 ./ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 126 Apr 11 11:20 ../ -rw-r----- 1 root whoopsie 1064044 May 8 17:21 _lib_systemd_systemd-logind.0.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root whoopsie 0 May 8 17:22 _lib_systemd_systemd-logind.0.upload -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 0 May 8 17:22 _lib_systemd_systemd-logind.0.uploaded -rw-r----- 1 gdm whoopsie 20579804 May 2 11:09 _usr_bin_gnome-shell.119.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root whoopsie 0 May 2 11:09 _usr_bin_gnome-shell.119.upload -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 0 May 2 11:09 _usr_bin_gnome-shell.119.uploaded -rw-r----- 1 gdm whoopsie 3030664 May 2 11:10 _usr_bin_Xwayland.119.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root whoopsie 0 May 2 11:10 _usr_bin_Xwayland.119.upload -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 0 May 2 11:10 _usr_bin_Xwayland.119.uploaded -rw-r----- 1 root whoopsie 2660730 May 8 17:21 _usr_lib_udisks2_udisksd.0.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root whoopsie 0 May 8 17:21 _usr_lib_udisks2_udisksd.0.upload -rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 0 May 8 17:21 _usr_lib_udisks2_udisksd.0.uploaded > 3.
