Freezing when using 3 different users in gnome terminals

I'm getting hard system freezes, for quite a while now (few weeks), even caps lock is frozen.

this is what journalctl -b -1 produces

Oct 13 16:15:01 probook kernel: audit: type=1327 audit(1634159701.435:297): proctitle=2F7573722F62696E2F63726F6E64002D6E 
Oct 13 16:21:52 probook kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000088
Oct 13 16:21:52 probook kernel: #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
Oct 13 16:21:52 probook kernel: #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
*last line*

this is the system info

Re: Freezing when using 3 different users in gnome terminals

using 3 different users in gnome terminals

Does that mean three parallel logins or that the issue is regardless of the user?
Does "gnome terminals" mean it only happens when using gnome-terminal or that you're running a (three) gnome sessions?
What display server(s) do you use? wayland, X11 or both?

Please try whether https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq) allows you to reboot more cleanly (esp. syncing to disc) and post the entire journal (there's a generic null pointer deref w/o backtrace, but maybe some module acted up before this…)
