Public bug reported:
Dear Ubuntu,
Thank you for taking the time to read this report. My last report stated
that nvidia-430 driver was the problem. I have since reinstalled ubuntu
18.4 and carefully followed the EGPU setup provided online using
gswitch. I should note that last install I forgot to add "systemctl
enable gswitch". I have noticed far fewer issues. Interestingly, I also
enabled autologin for my account. This appears to have helped the
problem significantly. I did try switching to regular password required
at login and the freezing / hanging did occur during some web browsing
but it was only for about 5 - 10 seconds. I then immediately switched
back to autologins and I have not noticed any freezing or hanging! I
believe the problem with regular password req logins is that it causes
my internal display (laptop screen) to be enabled first during the login
when I enter my password. After I enter my password the internal display
turns off and then I use my external display only as I have that
confiured in the ubuntu device settings. But with autologin, the
computer boots momentarily to internal screen when you see the ubuntu
dots sliding to the right and then into gnome.
So it appears using autologin is more stable when using an EGPU with
external display only! I am using nvidia-430 drivers.
So I think gdm3 needs an update or X11 needs an update so that it can
honor the external display better? Anyways! I will keep you posted.
Thanks for your dedication guys!!
Take care,
Peter
