Thanks for looking into this. 'Wayland + nvidia drivers' seems to be very problematic...even with 510 I had to reboot in recovery and edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to disable wayland and reinstall nvidia 470 to get a working system again.
I did enable some PPAs, for hardware like an intel realsense depth camera, just removing the PPAs did not fix the problems. I never enabled the 'proposed' a broken upgrade could be a thing... the dist-upgrade (20.04 >> 22.04) did crash and I had to do 'dpkg --configure -a' and 'apt --fix-broken' or something similar. Probably a fresh install is a good idea... -- 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/1966440 Title: gnome-shell crashes often when using the menu (start) button Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: No LSB modules are available.

Then the screen flashes and we're back. All notification in the queue pop up again as well. It happens almost every time. I checked the PID of the gnome-shell in top, and it effectively changes so I believe the gnome-shell crashes. It shouldn't. How can I collect relevant debug info? I cannot seem to find a cause. I'm using nvidia-drivers if that matters.
