  • Did you update any packages recently? Commented Jun 13, 2016 at 14:18
  • Any useful information from 'dmesg' command or in /var/log/syslog (or similar files)? You might see OOM ("out of memory") messages. Commented Jun 13, 2016 at 14:24
  • That's what I updated today: bsdutils grep libblkid1 libfdisk1 libmetacity-private3a libmount1 libsmartcols1 libuuid1 lshw metacity-common mount mtr-tiny thermald util-linux uuid-runtime I am not sure whether the problem occured before today (maybe it happened the first time sometime since Thursday, but I can't really check), and I also don't know how to check when and what I updated recently.

  • @StephenHarris: there's no OOM in dmesg, that's the only message today: do_general_protection: 33 callbacks suppressed (plus some messages about random time, whatever that is) Commented Jun 13, 2016 at 14:32
  • @StephenHarris: there's also nothing in /var/log/syslog that seems to be connected to this Commented Jun 13, 2016 at 14:35
