The package managers apt and synaptic cannot find anything wrong, and I should be on record as reporting that opening any local file takes a minimum of 30 seconds to pop up the requester, during which time the system is also locked.
That symptom alone would compel me to reinstall.
I've installed some stuff folks have suggested to no avail so I gave up wasting everybody's time and just put up with it.
I migrated my data to a dedicated storage server years ago. This has worked very well for me. I recommend that you do the same. If and when you do, KISS.
memtest86 has toured the 32gigs several times but doesn't find anything. Frustrating but apparently it hasn't bothered anyone else. It would very helpful if something stuck up a hand or did the gotta pee dance but in 2 years nothing has. Maybe its something leftover from ripping out orca and brltty that I tried to stop by a fresh install around 30 times. The installer put them in even when I said no.
Unless and until you boil down your hardware, software, and configuration settings to a minimum, write a shell script that evokes the issue every time, and file a complete bug report, you have only yourself to blame.
