Re: Gnome freezes upon login

"Gnome freezes upon login" - do you autostart chromium or are you talking about random freezes mid-session?

Re: Gnome freezes upon login

If you are referring to my post, yes i did start bitwarden via autostart and got frozen screens of gnome after hitting the enter button in the login screen.

I've also been getting this issue intermittently on a fresh install with an amdgpu.

@Seth

I just wanted to post an update on this issue (or at least the issue I was having).

I haven't seen it for a few weeks now, I remember seeing a kernel update come in but nothing gnome related after the last time I saw the hang.

So maybe the kernel update solved the issue? Not entirely sure.

@danwood76: Me too. No issues in the past couple of weeks. There was a systemd update, but I am not sure if it is related.

Re: Gnome freezes upon login

Unfortunately I had the same issue recently, by removing the Ethernet cable and the power cable to move the laptop in another place.

Unlocking the GDM screen the whole session hangs and the shield doesn't remove itself

I had to kill gdm, losing all the unchanged data.
