Description:
The system was previously on 22.04, then upgraded to 23.10 to the current daily 24.04. System will freeze up a few minutes after startup (with no apparent related crashes). After various trial and error, the possible cause is isolated to indicator-keyboard when running gnome-session-

I am experiencing similar problem with 24.04 after adding ibus-mozc method. Right after login indicator-keyboard starts using 100% of CPU with rapid memory consumption which results in freezing and OOM. Symptomatic fix: removing --use-gtk solves this problem.
