I was casually working with my Ubuntu 18.04, when all of a sudden the desktop ceased to be responsive. I restarted the system and booted to a black screen with mouse pointer and the CPU fan going all guns blazing.



This thing happened to me before with 17.10 and as I described in my question here, this was completely unprovoked on my side. I did not do any installs or upgrades, so none of the answers to the questions linked as duplicates apply.



Elder Geek suggested that I check my harddrive for failures. I ran the SMART diagnosis and everything was OK.



Knowing that the only way out was to re-install the system, I did exactly that, only to find that the gedit text editor is behaving glitchy on resize and text editing. Kate, the other text editor, does not have this problem.



gedit Ubuntu 18.04 glitch



I checked my system logs, but I have no idea what any of that information means and if it could be the cause of this glitch.

Has anybody had a similar problem? Are these log messages benign, or could some of them have caused this glitch?
