Tried to update Snapd from the GUI, it logged me out

[Mike Eichler]

This is a fresh install of 22.04 on X86_64, with Nvidia drivers, running X11 (can't get Wayland, but there already seems to be a bug report about that)

Steps to reproduce
1. launched Software Updater from the dashboard
2. it asked to update snapd, I confirmed by click

After a second the screen turned all black and after another second I was presented with the login screen

I logged back in, ran Software Updater, the system was up to date

Just a comment that may or may not be relevant but after installing the chromium snap I've also been logged out of gnome-shell.

I suspect this was caused by udev reload, which we have observed previously and I believe it was fixed in gdm by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/merge_requests/175

If you just got returned to the login screen but your login was really still running on VT2 then this is a duplicate of bug 1969097.

If there was a crash however then please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Missing_a_crash_report_or_having_a_.crash_attachment
