This time the packages it was updating were: libsqlite3-dev:amd64 (3.33.0-1, 3.33.0-1ubuntu0.1), libgnome-autoar-gtk-0-0:amd64 (0.2.4-2, 0.2.4-2ubuntu0.1), libsqlite3-0:amd64 (3.33.0-1, 3.33.0-1ubuntu0.1), sqlite3:amd64 (3.33.0-1, 3.33.0-1ubuntu0.1), libgnome-autoar-0-0:amd64 (0.2.4-2, 0.2.4-2ubuntu0.1), wpasupplicant:amd64 (2:2.9-1ubuntu8, 2:2.9-1ubuntu8.1) When it happened on Tuesday, the packages that were upgraded were: friendly-recovery:amd64 (0.2.41, 0.2.41ubuntu0.20.10.1), snapd:amd64 (2.48+20.10, 2.48.3+20.10), snap-confine:amd64 (2.48+20.10, 2.48.3+20.10), openjdk-11-jre-headless:amd64 (11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.10, 11.0.10+9-0ubuntu1~20.10), openjdk-11-jre:amd64 (11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.10, 11.0.10+9-0ubuntu1~20.10), ubuntu-core-launcher:amd64 (2.48+20.10, 2.48.3+20.10), plexmediaserver:amd64 (1.21.3.4014-58bd20c02, 1.21.3.4021-5a0a3e4b2) When it happens the screen goes blank, and in about 10-15 seconds I'm back at a gnome login prompt. 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.
