Yes, I believe having installed a proprietary driver could’ve caused
this. I didn’t realize this at the time of installing the driver, but I
think the file name "amdgpu-pro-21.20-1271047-ubuntu-20.04" clearly
indicates that this is in fact AMD’s proprietary driver. Curiously, the
issue didn’t happen immediately after installing this driver and
rebooting. I used the computer for at least two sessions after this and
everything was seemingly fine.

In any case, things are mostly in order now. I have yet to test if my
initially reported issue of locking the computer crashing the driver is
still resolved. I will get back with an updated report on this.

Title:
  [amdgpu] Locked Ubuntu is frozen and cannot be unlocked

Status in linux-hwe-5.13 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After locking Ubuntu and leaving it unattended for a while, the
  operating system cannot be unlocked anymore. No means of user input
  (e.g. typing on the keyboard, moving the mouse) produce the lock
  screen and I have to shut down my computer by pressing down the power
  button. The attached monitor does not receive a signal from the
  computer during these attempts.

  This started to happen several weeks ago and worked without a problem
  before then.

  Due to the nature of this issue, I can neither report any errors
  occurring nor can I observe any other out of the ordinary things from
  happening. Thus, I don’t know which package is causing the issue.
  Also, this issue happens every time I leave the computer unattended
  for a longer time and lock it. However, locking it and triggering an
  input immediately after does produce the lock screen, so the lock
  screen seems to work in principle.

  Description:  Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
  Release:      20.04
