Bug Description
X11 crashes on resume and my current desktop is lost and the login manager appears.
I posted a bugreported here https:/
with configu details.
But it seems to be nvidia, but may be a workaround is possible in Ubuntu?
This bug prevents me to use Linux for daily docking /undocking cycles for HomeOffice (works fine with Windows).

I found something similar which could handle the EnterVT failed issue:

but I am not sure if it is already in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.
2. If step 1 failed then look at https:/ /errors. ubuntu. com/user/ ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/ whoopsie/ whoopsie- id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.
3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.
Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
