Another total system freeze [upon Resume again, except this time i was able to unlock the Lock Screen fine, only for it then all to freeze with my desktop showing]. 8th Hard Reset [no, REISUB worked this time, see below] needed since my 31/12/16 Maui clean reinstallation, & 4th since changing from NVidia to Nouveau GPU driver.
Interestingly this time after unplugging & reconnecting the k/bs & mice, they did begin functioning again [thanks Rocky], but everything else was still frozen. Having regained the k/bs, this time i was at least able to REISUB, so this time no Hard Reset was necessary.
As per the parallel thread https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....6#pid41686 , i am now about to begin downloading the debs to do the process of installing kernel 4.9.9... desperately hoping it will cure these ridiculous repeat freezes.
