Can you please attach a screenshot or photo of the problem?

Hello,

It seems the Xorg program has some conflicts with the Nvidia graphic
management. Consequence is that some programs called through in
graphical mode crashes Ubuntu. All I/O (mouse, kb, ...) not responding
at all.

For information, Xorg version and details :

X.Org X Server 1.20.5
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 4.4.0-170-generic x86_64 Ubuntu
Current Operating System: Linux alain-EL1358 5.3.0-26-generic
#28~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 18 16:40:14 UTC 2019 x86_64
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-26-generic
root=UUID=52e5db54-2ea1-48ba-9efe-6b23d1188404 ro
Build Date: 18 December 2019  08:15:29AM
xorg-server-hwe-18.04 2:1.20.5+git20191008-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 (For
technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support)
Current version of pixman: 0.34.0

For more information, summary of HW and drivers in attached document.
Hope that it will help.

Many thanks for help,

AB
