I'm back. I'm a little embarrassed to reveal that what I reported as a bug turned out to be a matter of setting the system to run wayland or xorg. Apparently the OS is set to run wayland by default. Unless one sets it to run xorg via the button on the lower right side of the sign in screen - provided you use a password to get to your desktop - it'll start with wayland. I've only recently made the adjustment and will find out later if that's all it was. Fingers crossed.
Quick question that I don't actually expect an answer to: Since wayland is known to cause such issues, why would Linux make it the default setting? I actually had a similar issue with Ubuntu 21.04 and found out about resetting the preference. The issue I was having didn't happen again after that. Considering that everyone does not use a password to open their system, the problem will persist without a clue as to what to do about it. The button I mentioned that let's you choose between wayland (shows as "ubuntu") or xorg won't show on the start-up screen if you've set your system to log in automatically. I'm going now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947509 Title: system crashes with different and unrelated programs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1947509/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
