Hi Daniel, In my understanding, the crash is not reproducible after my workaround (switching to the nvidia driver), because the nvidia-resume.service is not masked (my theory). Therefore, I switched back to the Nouveau driver, and I reproduced the problem and collected the system logs as you

Interesting update Given the "Unit nvidia-resume.service is masked" complain by systemd- logind in my previous comment, I thought it could be related with the switching on and off the proprietary nvidia driver: after turning it on, I turned it off (switching to Nouveau)

Hi Daniel, unfortunately, there are no crash files in /var/crash/. I've checked also: https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ but there are no crashes reported in the last month. It looks like the "crash" is not caused by a fatal signal like SIGSEGV and no core dump is generated. But, still from the

Major update -- I've discovered that by switching to the open source Nouveau display driver the problem disappears, even with the newest Ubuntu 5.13.0-20 kernel. The problem was related to the "nvidia-driver-470" for my video card: GM107M [GeForce GTX 950M]. The older 5.11.0-37

To check the theory about the Ubuntu-specific patches, I tried to boot another Linux distro (Fedora Live 35) in order to see if the problem would exist: it did not. The kernel used was: 5.14.10-300.fc35.x86_64. Which is more recent that the kernel 5.13.0-20, currently used by Ubuntu 21.10.

You're failing to understand the concept of "show-stopper" bug, also known as "ship-stopper". The severity of such a bug is so big, that the whole release a product must be postponed, until the bug is fixed. Bugs of this kind are ones that substantially compromise the usability of a product.

Guys, this is a *BRUTAL* regression. It's NOT acceptable to break the desktop experience like that in a LTS release because "the legacy code was unmaintainable". Either replace the legacy code with a mature, well- written extension which works *exactly* the same way, or continue to maintain the
