Ubutnu Locking up
Ubutnu Locking up
Today Ubutnu has locked me up and I had to restart. Details: Ryzen 2600x, 16 GB RAM, Radeon 5700, OS version 18.04.3 LTS GNOME 3.28.2, kernel 5.3.2-050302-generic. I needed a kernel upgrade for the GPU to function properly so I could run multiple mounts. The problem appears when using Chrome—sometimes it won’t wake up after a while.
Chrome stays active even after I leave it running. It's a brand new Ubutnu install—just a week old. I'm using Chrome: version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) for 64-bit. I have several windows open with multiple tabs each. While Chrome isn't my favorite, I've got all my bookmarks ready and know how to use it best. I tried Firefox, but I can't really navigate its interface well.
You just ran an Update command in the terminal. It seems a kernel update was applied, along with some graphics-related changes. I’m curious if that triggered the problem. The screen went black shortly after, and it might be related to drivers. You’re considering upgrading to the latest release because your GPU is outdated.
