In an attempt to reproduce the issue remotely, I provisioned the DGX Station with Focal Ubuntu Server and followed these steps to reproduce:
1. Install desktop environment $ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop 2. Configure GDM $ sudo vim /etc/gdm3/custom.conf => Uncomment WaylandEnable=false => Configure automatic login for the `ubuntu` user by setting AutomaticLoginEnable = true AutomaticLogin = ubuntu 3. Disable display timeout $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0 4. Start GDM $ sudo systemctl start gdm3 5. Wait ~30 seconds for desktop to load. I wasn't able to see the display over my remote connection. 6. Enable 1 second display timeout and wait ~10 seconds $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1 After following these steps, I did run into a kernel error, though I was not able to see what occurred on screen, and the system did not hang: [13579.239047] divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [13579.239051] CPU: 27 PID: 39899 Comm: kworker/u80:2 Not tainted 5.4.0-196-generic #216-Ubuntu [13579.239053] Hardware name: NVIDIA DGX Station/X99-E-10G WS, BIOS 0406 08/27/2018 [13579.239112] Workqueue: nvkm-disp gv100_disp_super [nouveau] [13579.239159] RIP: 0010:nv50_disp_super_2_2+0x1b0/0x450 [nouveau] [13579.239162] Code: 0f af c5 48 f7 f1 0f b7 53 4c 48 89 c6 0f b7 43 4e 83 e8 19 29 d0 31 d2 48 98 49 0f af c5 48 f7 f1 48 89 c1 b8 24 00 00 00 99 <41> f7 f8 83 c0 03 48 98 48 29 c1 41 0f b6 44 24 59 48 8d 49 ff 44 [13579.239164] RSP: 0018:ffffac5383d57db0 EFLAGS: 00010206 [13579.239166] RAX: 0000000000000024 RBX: ffff906c395062a0 RCX: 00000000000009b2 [13579.239167] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000168 RDI: ffffffffc090ed20 [13579.239169] RBP: ffffac5383d57e08 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 8080808080808080 [13579.239170] R10: ffff906be77b1c34 R11: 0000000000000018 R12: ffff906c3dd34420 [13579.239171] R13: 0000000000041eb0 R14: 000000000001c03e R15: ffff906c395062a0 [13579.239173] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff906c5f8c0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [13579.239175] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [13579.239176] CR2: 00000000038f4098 CR3: 0000003f39344001 CR4: 00000000003606e0 [13579.239177] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [13579.239179] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [13579.239180] Call Trace: [13579.239186] ?
