Public bug reported: Ever since installing (not upgrading) Ubuntu-22.04, I've noticed that quite often (but not always) unlocking the screensaver freezes the entire system. By that I mean I will tap my keyboard, the blank screen will lighten up and show the password field, I start typing, get the "***" characters, and then it freezes: typing doesn't continue, mouse stops moving. If I wait, 30-40 (ish) seconds later it will catch up and start responding again and I can continue. Quite often the freeze doesn't occur until I have entered my password and hit ENTER - but it does freeze earlier too.
I have figured out that if this happens, I can speed up the process by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F3 to go to a tty, then immediately Alt-F2 to go back to gnome - and that flushes out the problem. Definitely shaves many seconds off waiting around for the fault to clear by itself. I was also talking to a collegue who installed Ubuntu-22.04 this week - he's noticed the same issue. Also a Dell laptop - but different model. I would guess Wayland related - but don't have any evidence for that, so I put this as gnome-shell Thanks!
