Public bug reported: Hi, I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for 6 years without problem and I decided to renew my operating system to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with fresh install 5 months ago.
When I started to use ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I encountered some desktop freezes randomly. While it was happening, I can heart that my laptop's fan noise was incredibly increasing abnormally at that moment. So I have decided to change my driver from X.org Server to Nvidia (recommended). When I switch my driver from open source graphic driver to proprietary graphic driver, I hoped that the problem might be solved. But after a week, the problem occured again. After that in the same day the same freezes occur continuosly as much as 3 or 4 times. I don't know why it happens. The only thing I know is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was using Unity Desktop, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is using GNOME Desktop anymore. I tried to alt + f2 and r command to refresh gnome desktop. Also ctrl + alt + f3 for instance, and typing gnome-shell --replace & disown to refresh gnome dektop. They sometimes works, but only if I notice early that the freezes coming. If I miss that moment, the screen completely freezes and neither cursor click nor keyboard input works What should I do? 1) & 2) My system info: ================================================= Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 Ubuntu Software: 3.28.1 ================================================= 3) I shouldn't have had to restart my system again, again and again due to desktop freezes. While it happens, session cannot be rescued. It damages my personal / work data on the RAM at that moment. I mean I encountered data loss a lot of times on the gedit or the web browser mostly, while writing or doing something. I was expecting this issue was reported someone in the internet since 5 months. Because of this, I didn't deal with it. But I guess so this is not common issue. Because, there is no patch for it. I am looking details of system update when it has come each time, but no patch there until this now.
