A couple of months ago, xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-legacy were upgraded from version 1.19.2 to 1.19.6 in Buster. But since then, when starting X from the console, the process soon comes to a grinding halt. These are the last lines: (==) Log file: "/home//local/share/xorg/

Dear all, Recently I upgraded my Jessie to Stretch and since then I do not have working hibernation. When I do hibernate-disk, then it seems to be making a memory snapshot, but when I restart I gets a hang up with a black screen or reboot (depends on which kernel version I use). Already tried wi
