Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 logs out intermittently, closes all programs. Happened after upgrade to 16.04 - Happens also after clean install Ubuntu GNOME 16.10

[Hail Holy Ghost]

I upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 16.04. Ubuntu will randomly log out of everything, I don't know what causes it. Usually when a window pops up.

Does *anyone else* have this? I have no idea how to debug this.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

same for me if I install Ubuntu GNOME 16.10

I've been experiencing the same issues with Ubuntu 16.04

[Swier (swier)]

I've been experiencing the same issue with Ubuntu 17.10.

It only seems to occur shortly after I log in after a reboot. I usually open several programs in quick succession (terminal, browser with several tabs, editor) and often after about half a minute I am logged out. When logging in again all programs appear to have been closed.

I have this issue on Ubuntu 16.04, all application closes including terminal and it goes to logout, screen locked randomly.
