The UI seems to crash whenever I try to switch tasks with alt tab. When I alt-tab and use arrow keys the screen just crashes and goes black for around 4-5 seconds and then I get the switch. In the meantime I can’t see the switcher either. I’m running Kubuntu 24.10 in a Hyper-V VM and I started facing this issue since the 24.10 update, it used to work fine in 24.04. Can someone please help me with this?
Hi! I don’t know much personally about using Linux under Hyper-V, but it does seem like you’re below the recommended memory allocation - that might contribute to issues?
Beyond that, a good start for diagnosing that might be to look in your system journal - if you know a time around when that crash occurred, then you can look in the journal around that time using the journalctl command.
For example, if the crash happened at 4:30 PM today, you could use sudo journalctl --since="2025-02-14 16:29:00" --until="2025-02-14 16:31:00" to look at the surrounding couple of minutes and see if any major crashes, errors or warnings are being reported there.
Feel free to post those in this topic, using the “Preformatted text” option in the formatting toolbar, and folks can help with possible troubleshooting ideas
