The first thing I would do, since the issue you're encountering seems readily reproducible, is to reproduce the issue while connected to the system over SSH. Does the SSH session also freeze when this happens? You can force it to be apparent whether it does by running something through it which outputs text continuously, and just seeing if the flow of text stops. Examples: $ while true; do find /usr/bin -print; done $ while true; date +%s.%N; done This will tell you whether it's something which impacts your local session only, or something which impacts the whole system. (It's not too hard to imagine X issues causing everything at the console to become nonresponsive while the overall system is still working fine, for example.) Since you can make the problem appear or disappear on the same system by switching kernel versions, I would file a bug report in the Debian bug tracker against the kernel package at the problematic version, and indicate that it's a regression compared to whatever kernel version does not exhibit the problem. Whether it's some kind of kernel crash or simply a GUI session freeze would likely be very relevant information then. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se
