Sorry, still no advice, just empathy. I was re-reading the thread one more time before deleting, and saw this. My video players, primarily MPV and SMPlayer, started kicking mine into most likely hibernation at the end of videos. A week or so of that fail, and now at least SMPlayer does the same 5 minutes or so into a maybe 2 hour long video. Those have been Hollywood type videos playing in the DVD drawer. In considering causatives, I do acknowledge that overheating or similar may play a rational part, by the way. Anyway, in those cases, CTRL+ALT+Fn does NOT work for me, either. Only a cold, hard reboot via the on/off hardware button on the PC computer case puts things back into operation. That's why I just did the latest debootstrap. Refresh, start over with the hope that might instantly fix things. K/t current #Life circumstances just outside my front door (plus degenerative memory issues), I don't have time right now to fight it while trying to diagnose. Unfortunately haven't been able to test the new debootstrap theory because there's a whole 'nother thread of a fail going on there, too. It's not recognizing the correctly defined UUID at boot. *sighhhh, grinnn* :) For what it's worth in the possibility that our video cards play a sizable part in this thread's issue, I just pulled this from lspci: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1) Its fan... um.. "works", but the dogs have hit the case (hard) a few times so things aren't running as optimal as they used to/should be.
