Thanks. Unfortunately those crash files don't appear to be related to this bug. That's not completely surprising if the "freeze" isn't caused by a crash.
Next, please get a second computer and ssh into the freezing one (you may need to install 'openssh-server' on the freezing one first). Then reproduce the freeze and while it is frozen, from ssh run: killall -ABRT gnome-shell Wait a minute or two and that should produce a new crash file. Then follow the instructions in comment #2 again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830936 Title: Wayland freeze 18.04 using VLC Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I tried Wayland while logging in and it works fine until I try to play some local video file using VLC.
