Every single time I am on a meeting on Google Meets, my Ubuntu crashes. The sound and mouse keep working, but the screen freezes. I use Opera Web Browser, and in addition to the browser with Google Meet running, I usually have atom and the terminal itself running - not a big deal.

Does anyone have a clue of why that is happening and how to fix it? Could it be a problem with Opera or Google Meets specifically? And when the screen freezes, what should I do? Ctrl + alt + del to force quit Opera?

Thank you in advance :)

I had a similar problem with Ubuntu 18.04 and Mozilla Firefox. When I tried to share screen my computer got freezed while allowing access to window. I use Dark Reader add-on, and the problem somehow got resolved when I disabled it. Now I can enable it again and share screen whithout problems.

As described in ino's answer in How to restart GNOME Shell from command line?:

In the case where the whole GNOME Shell got frozen, there is a way to restart it from the terminal without restarting the whole X window:

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to a TTY terminal.

  2. Log in with your credentials (username and password) and then run:

    DISPLAY=:0 gnome-shell -r &

  3. Log out by running:

    exit

  4. Press Alt+F1 to switch back to a graphical X windows session.
