Gkr-pam errors since install of Zorin OS Pro

Do research on the errors in the log profile keep pointing me to the AMD Graphics driver. MY graphics is also part of my cpu. So this might be a driver issue.
Do we have a driver for the "AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon™ 890M × 24"?, yet?

The driver is included in the kernel. You could try upgrading the kernel. to 6.19.x
It may be harmless warnings, so if it works you could leave it with that.

Do You have any functional Issues with Your System at the Moment?

So I created a ticket for my system restarting last month, and I thought we sidestepped the problem because I changed the settings. here is the link to the issue Every night Zorin OS 18 Pro goes to black screens and restarts

Now the system will restart when using Brave and the file manager together. with the GKR-pam errors.

I will also look into how to upgrade the kernel to 6.19.x.

you can also tale a look at this

did you try to switch to X11 instead of Wayland ?

Sorry for the late reply. Life happened for a few days.

The above did not work. I have tried X11 and get the same errors, but it pointed me to a memory issue also.

Found and fixed.
Found: that there was a memory leak that was actually causing the restarts. Wayland restarted before the memory was full. Once I switched over to X11 it did not restart until the memory was full. So I put a logged on the system and found that one tab in the brave browser was leaking memory.

Fix:
Switched to firefox and ran the same tab. no memory leaks and the system has not restarted yet.

Thanks Everyone for your help on this

I think the reason for the gkr-pam errors is the daemon control file (gkr-pam) is NOT present in the folder /etc/pam.d/

Looking for control file in pam.d folder:

scott@scott-Falcon-Talon:/etc/pam.d$ ls -l gkr*
ls: cannot access 'gkr*': No such file or directory

Contents of the pam.d foler:

scott@scott-Falcon-Talon:/etc/pam.d$ ls -ltr
