Another total system freeze. 9th Hard Reset needed since my 31/12/16 Maui clean reinstallation, 5th since changing from NVidia to Nouveau GPU driver, & 1st with Kernel 4.9.9.
Unlike most of these freezes, today's one was not during Resume from Suspend, but instead was virtually the same as the 12Feb one, ie: the freeze occurred with most pgms closed, whilst i was running my weekly backup to my USB stick [VeraCrypt + luckyBackup].
I presume the kernel itself again had not frozen, coz even though Plasmashell & Inputs froze [& annoyingly luckyBackup also froze thus ruining the in-progress backup], my Clementine Icecast internet music streaming continued unscathed.
Damnit.
