I killed lightdm and shut the lid from the command prompt. System was largely unresponsive after opening -- I was still able to switch between virtual consoles, but that was *it*; console accepted no input, nor did any of the login prompts. After 120 seconds (I presume), and error about kworker blocking for 120 seconds came up, however nothing else seemed to transpire.

On lid close, system hard freezes, requiring power cycle. On opening lid, is frozen on lockscreen. No mouse movement, no keyboard movement, <ctl><alt><f1> does nothing.
