Hi,

I tried to use ubuntu with a dl dock and it happened that it randomly crashed my x session, using lxde (Lubuntu). I've tried things from and nothing worked:

My kernel was 5.4
I only got the issue fixed after upgrading my kernel to 5.8 using a script from
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-kernel-to-latest-version-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux

hope it helps someone ...
