Re: Frequent freezing around login screens

First all, sorry for top posting. The original thread is in the 
cylindrical filing cabinet.

I started my day by checking my always on desktop and found it to be 
frozen. At the time I was running KDE and VirtualBox (with a Trixie 
instance) amongst other things. This is of no great concern to me, but I 
posted here in case it offers any help to the OP.

Further info can be posted if requested.
