Hi. On 31/12/16 i reformatted my Tower's SSD, made a new partition table, & did a clean reinstallation of Maui [ https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....0#pid41120 ]. That was after a few months of running my Tower with Maui after upgrading from Mint 17.3 KDE4 but not wiping /home, Thus, unlike my original Maui installation of Sept 2016, this time there is absolutely positively no remnants of Mint KDE4 lurking in my /home user-config files able to interfere with Maui. I did this reinstallation specifically in hope of ending the many annoying random misbehaviours my original Maui gave me [per many of my historical posts here], that no other user or Dev writing in these fora seemed to experience.
Until this morning, the rebuilt Maui Tower has been running delightfully. However now, i no longer know what i should think about it. I came to my pc this morning, to Resume it from its usual overnight Suspend, like i do every other morning. This morning, the lock screen appeared on screen as usual, but keyboard & mouse were 100% unresponsive. Both had their various LEDs illuminated, so were still being powered through their USB connections ok, but neither would respond to any inputs. Thus i could not switch to TTY, & to my dismay even REISUB didn't work. Unhappily i had to press the Tower's reset button.
I'm very disappointed at this failure. Sometimes such bad misbehaviour happened in my original [non-clean] Maui installation, but this is the first time since the completely clean reinstallation. The rebuild was supposed to have stopped all this stuff.
Any ideas please?
==============================================
18/1/17 EDIT: I just realised that my original post's title is inaccurate. This was my first post-rebuild hard reset explicitly coz of a dead lock-screen, but it was not actually the first hard reset overall, since rebuilding. In fact there had been two previous occasions, post-rebuild, when i was simply using my Tower normally [ie, not suspending or resuming it] when, without any tell-tale warning signs, the OS abruptly entirely locked up / froze ... dead to all inputs. Only a hard reset was possible each time. Most unpleasant! Happily overall the reliability seems quite good.
