Ok, I tried this and I am now running the laptop for about 2 days (including putting it to sleep).
Only disabling those extensions did not help when I tried before. Uninstalling those extensions prevents the unworkable behavior but I do not think it solves the root cause. At this moment I am seeing the following CPU usage in top: * Xorg: about 25% * gnome-shell: between 15% and 20% * nautilus: between 15% and 20% CPU usage keeps this high even during typing this comment. All other processes are below 5%, most even less than 1%. This seems to be very high for an almost idle system. Maybe this high CPU usage triggers a problem with the swap file when the extensions are enabled? Solution for the high CPU usage: closing Nautilus makes both Xorg and gnome-shell to drop to normal levels. -- 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/1861079 Title: Dell XPS 13 9380 - Screen and input freezes / hangs temporarily Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I can confirm the issue described in Bug #1827791 is existent in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as well. When I issue the command "sudo swapoff /swapfile" the issue never shows up. I always issue that command as the laptop otherwise is barely usable and I need to use it for work.
