Another update. After truning off pulseaudio yesterday, the system didn't crash as fast as before, but it did eventually lock up a couple of times. The logs seems similar even without pulse, still beginning with the bluetooth service.
After this I completely turned off bluetooth from the BIOS of the machine. This seemed to have solved the issue until a few moments ago when the bluetoothservice tried to start something again. I have now disabled the bluetooth service. I hope it doesn't do anything more. Here's how the system locks-up now: Apr 27 09:37:26 ESS-PC26 dbus[1187]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out Apr 27 09:37:26 ESS-PC26 pulseaudio[2214]: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out Apr 27 09:37:26 ESS-PC26 pulseaudio[1521]: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out The system freezes for multiple seconds then recovers. I've now run apport-collect and authorized it for one week. Hope this helps. ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Hello, I'm a sysadmin and have gotten multiple reports recently from users of them randomly getting logged out of their machines. From what I can tell from the journalctl printout this appears immediately after either bluetoothd or pulsaudio crashes. This is happening multiple time each day for each user. It doesn't happen to all users, but the reports seem to be getting more frequent by the day. From what I have noticed there recently was an update for pulseaudio and its bluetooth integration.
