Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Run these commands: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt journalctl -b-1 > prevjournal.txt and attach the resulting text files here. 2. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run: ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug. 3. If step 2 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us. Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself. ** Package changed: gdm3 (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: noble -- 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/2076752 Title: Gnome session crashes if monitor is disconnected Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Recently installed and fully updated Ubuntu 24.04 I have to switch my monitor/keyboard/mouse between two computers. Every time when I let the screen lock time-out elapse, my desktop session crashes and I have to log on again (but the system keeps running). As long as the screen is not locked, I can switch back to the running session normally. I do not know whether my user session crashes on screen lock or on switching the monitor back to this computer. I use an nVidia GeForce RTX 4070 video card connected through DisplayPort to an LG Ultrawide 40" monitor. The display server is X11. It may or may not be relevant to this problem that quite often after the monitor is re-awakened from sleep, some interface/window icons are replaced with blank grey colour (i.e. minimise/maximise icons on window bars, folder icons in Files, &c. The application window contents seem to be intact, but entire windows (I mostly see this with FireFox) often take a long time to be drawn, sometimes not until I hover the mouse pointer over them.
