Public bug reported: I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 21.04 from Ubuntu 20.10. I already had programs installed that I kept with the upgrade. Subsequently, I then installed BOINC Manager and the associated software. I connected to my Einstein@Home account using BOINC Manager. The packages loaded as usual. I started the screen saver (rotating astronomy sphere). Then within a couple of minutes my entire computer system freezes.
I have tested my various other installed programs for astronomy and they all work just fine and do not freeze my system. My system is as follows Intel® Core™ i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz × 4 7.7 GiB Memory Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2) 1.0 TB HD Ubuntu 21.04 64-bit GNOME Version 3.38.5 Windowing System Wayland Perhaps this is an issue for BOINC and/or Einstein. I will also submit a report to their online accounts.
