Thanks. The logs say that GNOME is functioning just fine. This might be related to the fact that it's using Intel Arrandale graphics which I haven't tried in a long time.
Please try adding this to /etc/environment: MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple and reboot. If that doesn't solve it then please try replacing the above with: MUTTER_DEBUG_KMS_THREAD_TYPE=user and reboot again. ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-hwe-6.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077265 Title: Gnome desktop freeze after kernel update Status in linux-hwe-6.8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After a kernel update (on 2024-08-14, if I remember correctly), the Gnome desktop freezes, always. This happens sometimes already on the login screen (mouse pointer frozen, no keyboard input accepted). Sometimes it happens a few seconds or a few minutes after login. No further input possible. No change to a text console possible. When I disconnect the USB-mouse and reconnect it, the mouse LED remains dark. Seems that USB is frozen too. This happens with kernel: vmlinuz-6.8.0-40-generic When I boot the previous kernel: vmlinuz-6.5.0-45-generic, no freezes occur and all works well. I managed to switch to a text console before the freeze happened. The attached files were created in a text console as root and then transferred to a different computer in order to report the bug.
