Hello,

Yesterday SSH on my desktop PC running Ubuntu 20.04 became unresponsive.

The machine was responding to ping and "telnet 22" was briefly connecting before connection closed.

The graphical login prompt was visible, but when I tried to log in, it threw me to the text console. No login prompt on any virtual consoles and Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing.

There is no information logged in wtmp, kern.log and dmesg. Nothing interesting in auth.log

The last 40 lines from syslog look as below:
