You have been subscribed to a public bug: This is a regression introduced with the latest kernel (linux- image-5.8.0-49-generic).
Kubuntu 20.04, since upgrading kernel from version 5.8.0-48.54 to version 5.8.0-49.55 the system boots properly but the GUI often hangs, either immediately after user login to GUI or any time after that (screen stops updating with various artifacts and UI no longer responds) and computer has to be restarted. Messages like these appear in dmesg: Apr 13 08:43:24 kubuntu kernel: [47776.927523] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Resetting chip for stopped heartbeat on rcs0 Apr 13 08:43:24 kubuntu kernel: [47777.029098] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] VMSVGA FIFO[222240] context reset due to GPU hang Apr 13 11:25:37 kubuntu kernel: [ 45.168120] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85fffffc, in plasmashell [2918] Apr 13 11:25:37 kubuntu kernel: [ 45.168166] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Resetting chip for stopped heartbeat on rcs0 Apr 13 11:25:37 kubuntu kernel: [ 45.270406] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] plasmashell[2918] context reset due to GPU hang Apr 13 11:25:41 kubuntu kernel: [ 47.984475] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85fffffc, in plasmashell [2918] Apr 13 11:25:41 kubuntu kernel: [ 47.984520] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Resetting chip for stopped heartbeat on rcs0 Apr 13 11:25:41 kubuntu kernel: [ 48.088097] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] plasmashell[2918] context reset due to GPU hang Apr 13 11:25:47 kubuntu kernel: [ 54.128068] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:85fffffc, in plasmashell [2918] Apr 13 11:25:47 kubuntu kernel: [ 54.128111] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Resetting chip for stopped heartbeat on rcs0 Apr 13 11:25:47 kubuntu kernel: [ 54.230401] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] plasmashell[2918] context reset due to GPU hang Apr 14 14:35:53 kubuntu kernel: [ 32.106297] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 7:1:c07fffff, in ksplashqml [3096] Apr 14 14:35:53 kubuntu kernel: [ 32.106341] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Resetting chip for stopped heartbeat on rcs0 Apr 14 14:35:53 kubuntu kernel: [ 32.207704] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] ksplashqml[3096] context reset due to GPU hang With previous kernel 5.8.0-48.54 (and all other previous kernels) there was never any problem like this.
