new Kubuntu 20.04 install locks up every day overnight
by Red Squirrel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52RGM)
I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out, it's super frustrating.
Basically as title, just did a clean install of Kubuntu 20.04 and it works ok when I go to use it, but when I go to bed, next morning it will be completely locked up and I have to do a hard reset. Every single night. the times seem to differ it might do it as early as 9pm while I'm at work on night shift, or do it as late as 9am the next day if I'm still in bed. Basically if it's idle for any significant amount of time, it completely dies.
I've tried letting dmesg -w on a console to see if it spits anything out before it dies, but nothing so far. I'm open to suggestions on other things to try so I can at least get some kind of log or something.
Today at work I also decided to keep a SSH session open, as well as a X session of a console just to see if it's X/wayland that's locking up or the whole system. I lost the SSH connection so that confirms it's the whole system.
Hardware is as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1300X quad core
Motherboard: Asus Prime B350-plus
GPU: AMD Radeon 580
8GB of system ram
This hardware except for the GPU was used as a mining rig before with Ubuntu Server so I know it works fine unless there's some weird issue that's specific to Kubuntu 20.04.
This is probably not really enough info to troubleshoot this but hoping someone can point me in right direction of something I can try at least so I can get more info on what the system is doing at the time of the crash.
