Public bug reported: Ever since updating to 15.10 my computer has been freezing every day. Usually this happens after I've left work, and since I leave my computer on, I manually start the screensaver (ctrl+alt+L), and when I come back the next morning, the computer is completely unresponsive, even to sysrq. Gnome screensaver itself doesn't appear to be the culprit since I can turn it on, then log back into my system any time within perhaps 5 minutes. Looking at my root journalctrl output, yesterday, it appears to have crashed 30 minutes after I logged out (I was zeroing a drive with dd, and was issuing a kill -USR1 to track the progress every 30 seconds).
At first I thought it might be a botched upgrade from 15.04, so I tried a clean reinstall last week, but it still freezes. There is also nothing in the logs that would indicate an error/crash. The only potentially related piece of information is that I use gnome- shell, installed via ubuntu-gnome-desktop. I'm not sure what package to file this under since I don't know how to reproduce, or how to diagnose the issue. Any debugging advice will be appreciated since this issue is really starting to annoy me.
