Bug Description

I'm not sure if this is an xorg bug because i'm pretty sure I'm using wayland, however ubuntu-bug says it's an xorg issue.

I installed the GNOME desktop instead of the ubuntu one, however it does happen on the ubuntu desktop as well. It seems to happen less often on the GNOME desktop (though still multiple times a day)

When I perform certain actions I can semi-reliably produce a total screen freeze. Some examples include using the search menu on gnome, opening a video in fullscreen, and clicking buttons in fractal (matrix client.) There are many more scenarios that I haven't listed. The screen will completely freeze but the computer will keep going normally (e.g. I can type, use the cursor, listen to audio, etc.) This can be remedied by pressing CONTROL+ALT+F3 which brings me into the console, then waiting about 5 seconds, then switching back with CONTROL+ALT+F2

This doesn't seem to be related to any computer load issues and occurs reliably after clicking on something/typing in a text field until the offending program is restarted. When the program is restarted, the issue sometimes goes away but sometimes persists. This has been happening since I installed ubuntu a couple weeks ago.

I am able to provide more details if necessary and do some debugging things, but I'm not a technical user so will need babying.

This sounds like one of the symptoms of bug 2007668.

I can confirm that Ubuntu 23.04 works more reliably on 12th gen chips, but that's not officially released yet.

You might also have more luck by installing Ubuntu 22.04 and then upgrading the kernel like:

  sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c
