Thanks for the attachments. It looks like the Nvidia kernel driver
encountered problems, which then caused problems in the Nvidia Xorg
driver, and then Xorg crashed.
I would suggest the first thing to do is to remove the kernel parameter
'nvidia-drm.modeset=1' because that wasn't a mature supported option
back in Ubuntu 20.04 (but it is in 22.04).

Title:
[nvidia] Frequent GPU Resets (and GUI Freeze) by gsd-media-keys
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
A fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.4 has GUI freezes frequently (i.e., a
dozen times daily) at inconsistent intervals and times, and not
obviously in response to any particular user input. The system then
is unresponsive to user input, although the mouse cursor does continue
to move about.
The syslog messages reveal the message from gsd-media-keys "[GFX1]:
Device reset due to WR context"
The freeze also is preceded by often hundreds of pulseaudio messages
related to latency issues, notwithstanding that no audio is playing.
Often, gdm-x-session messages appear referencing the NVIDIA GPU and
"WAIT". The pulseaudio message "setting avail_min=87496" often is the
last message and if not, one of the last, before the reboot.
Also common before is a gnome-shell message "Ignored exception from
dbus method: Gio.DBusError:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
com.gonzaarcr.appmenu was not provided by any .service files", which
precedes the pulseaudio messages.
Happy to provide any other information but would welcome some guidance
because I'm on day 11 or 12 of this installation and wearing out my
welcome at Google.
