Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To
help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.
2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where
ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine.
Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please
send the links to us.
3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921,
reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.
Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are
unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security
risk for yourself.

Title:
gnome-shell freezes randomly on nouveau and wayland
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The freeze causes the mouse cursor to stop moving and keyboard to stop
responding and nothing moves on screen, not even the clock. Curiously
the music continues to play (and e.g. sound from youtube video
continues to be played even though the video itself freezes and no
longer animates on-screen).
It appears that the freeze happens quite randomly; I am not able to
figure out what it's caused by. Sometimes it's caused by launching the
Snap Chromium, or perhaps by a notification shown, but I do not know
for sure. I also tried to hunt system logs and/or systemd gnome-shell
logs, but I failed to discover some kind of crash dump.
Curiously the Ctrl+Alt+F2 key combo stops working. That leads me to
believe that it's some kind of kernel+nouveau crash, but I can't seem
to discover any kernel panic in the system logs.
After the gnome-shell freezes, the numlock light still responds to
numlock key presses. However, mashing Ctrl+Alt+Del has no effect, so
I'm only able to reboot via Alt+Sysrq+s u b.
Thank you :)
