After each update that consists of a kernel update (not necessarily an upgrade, but upgrade as well), i.e. any update that requires a restart, the system would work fine until I go AFK for a while and the screen lock \ monitor standby kick in.
After that AFK period, when I get back, I find my system frozen with the screen showing the BIOS logo (more recently just a black screen with a very rapidly blinking cursor).
Sometimes I’m able to restart it with rapid use of ctrl+alt+delete, sometimes even this fails. TTY switching doesn’t work either.
After a restart the system works fine.
It seems as if the system going to lock screen \ monitor standby causes the system to try and reload the nvidia driver, which fails.
Since the system works properly before this AFK period, I suspect it’d be easy to disable this reload and keep the system working until restart.
As I’m reporting this, I’ve just updated the system - so this can easily be reproduced right now.
So if there’s any missing information, any additional log files (or higher logging verbosity) needed, now is the time to mention it, so I can set it to log before letting my system freeze.
Here are the logs from last week, when it last happened:
