I'm having repeated random crashes of GNOME on Ubuntu 20.04 which cause me to be logged out. Each time I log in, I choose Ubuntu on Wayland to deal with the issue I was experiencing in an earlier post. I have not yet been able to tie today's crashing to any particular application, though I suspect VMWare Workstation. Where are the logs I need to check and what should I be looking for within those logs? The crashes are happening every 15-60 minutes.

  • Did you even try to search for this? Viewing System Logs .. Journalctl to View and Manipulate Systemd Logs. You have two systems at play here. One is the tradition ASCII text log, the other is a logging mechanism (called journald) used by services. Finding the cause of a problem like this is a PITA but can be done with a little creativity.

I was able to resolve this by downgrading VMWare Workstation on my host from 16.2.0 to 16.1.2.
