problem with modern desktops on Buster

Show all headers | View raw

When I rebooted my computer (AMD64/Buster) yesterday, I couldn't get 
Plasma to operate. After logging with sddm, the computer locked up hard 
(wouldn't respond to SysRq or Ctl-Alt-Del) before the desktop appeared.

I switched to Gnome which seems to work a little better but I was still 
getting lockups. I tried Gnome over Xorg in case it was a Wayland 
problem but that also seemed to have problems. It crashed overnight and 
left me with some panic text on the screen and the computer was locked 
up. I couldn't get much beyond the initial desktop display when I restarted.

I've been using Gnome Flashback (Metacity) for about 5 hours now, 
including a couple periods when the screen saver / lock kicked in, and 
it seems OK.

I'm not even sure where to report this problem since I can't identify a 
specific package that is causing it. However since Gnome Flashback seems 
to be working, I'd guess that it is in the flashier desktop elements.
