Public bug reported:

Ever since updating to 15.10 my computer has been freezing every day.
Usually this happens after I've left work, and since I leave my computer
on, I manually start the screensaver (ctrl+alt+L), and when I come back
the next morning, the computer is completely unresponsive, even to
sysrq. Gnome screensaver itself doesn't appear to be the culprit since I
can turn it on, then log back into my system any time within perhaps 5
minutes. Looking at my root journalctrl output, yesterday, it appears to
have crashed 30 minutes after I logged out (I was zeroing a drive with
dd, and was issuing a kill -USR1 to track the progress every 30
seconds).

At first I thought it might be a botched upgrade from 15.04, so I tried
a clean reinstall last week, but it still freezes. There is also nothing
in the logs that would indicate an error/crash.

The only potentially related piece of information is that I use gnome-
shell, installed via ubuntu-gnome-desktop.

I'm not sure what package to file this under since I don't know how to
reproduce, or how to diagnose the issue. Any debugging advice will be
appreciated since this issue is really starting to annoy me.
