Something different happened tonight, but it feels related so I'm going to post it with this bug report.
Tonight I did an apt upgrade for a single package -- containerd. Gnome didn't crash this time, but a short time later I noticed that /var/log/syslog was filling up with the following messages: Mar 17 20:35:29 scruffy gnome-shell[9529]: Object St.Bin (0x5558975eac80), has been already deallocated — impossible to set any property on it. This might be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Mar 17 20:35:29 scruffy gnome-shell[9529]: == Stack trace for context 0x555888e95220 == Mar 17 20:35:29 scruffy gnome-shell[9529]: #0 7ffddf081900 I /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com/docking.js:2051 (1ee0192a1240 @ 208) These 3 lines were being repeated dozens of times a second, and started at the same time I did the upgrade. I didn't know how else to stop them so I rebooted. After rebooting the system seems fine again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915481 Title: [nvidia] gnome crashes with Fatal IO errors (lost connection to Xorg) after running `apt upgrade` Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-460 package in Ubuntu: New Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is the second time this week this has happened, and perhaps the tenth time in the past few months.

Sometimes it kills my tmux session, but this time it didn't. Also about 24 hours after it happens I will suddenly start experiencing network issues. I'll need to restart NetworkManager and then it will be OK.
