@Daniel (1) It's not possible to do a soft reboot under the error mode because the displays are frozen. Will a hard power-off get the job done?
(2) Using "Ubuntu on Xorg" changed the symptoms somewhat, but the outcome is still the same: the secondary monitor never cycles up -- it stays black. The only difference is that, under Xorg, the primary monitor does NOT freeze. I can even access the Display manager and attempt to set the secondary display up, but clicking "apply" has no effect other than to cycle the power on the monitor. (3) The dock did not require any special drivers on 20.04, the Ubuntu version I just switched from. I will attempt to collect additional logs under Wayland. Stay tuned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970495 Title: Window manager freezes when plugging in USB-C dock with external monitor. Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1. Problem DOES appear on Lenovo T470s (Intel). 2. Problem DOES appear on Lenovo T14 Gen2 (AMD). 3. Problem does NOT appear on either of the above *when in the Live Installer*. I specifically checked that my dock behaved well under the Live Installer before deciding to move my workstations to Jammy. Upon logging into a fresh Jammy install, I found the following problem behavior: When the dock is plugged in, the built-in display freezes and the dock-attached displays power up but never render anything (ie, they stay black). Unplugging the USB-C cable gets mouse/keyboard response back on the built-in display.
