I doubt I'm going to be able to `apport-collect 1891790` as I tried for
>3 hours on the r50p, and the t42p is now having the same issue (it's
just slower to be impacted; maybe because it has more RAM)

Checks for squashfs errors are clean (ie. `dmesg|grep squash`) with only
program title appearing once, no errors

Both boxes crash though, at first slow to respond till the eventually
pause.  If I try `ubuntu-bug linux` (last done on t42p) I get a crash
file in /var/crash, but it's hard to read, and it won't file using
`ubuntu-bug`.

The closest I got was authorization is required, but firefox never gets
to show anything allowing me to authorize it. The laptops appear to get
slower & slower they run, and trying to read anything useful on the
screen isn't really possible.

I even tried `sudo apt install openssh-server` hoping I could read more
from a different box, but that seems to speed up the slowing nature of
whatever this box doesn't like in the 5.4 kernel/stack.  This will
likely be a different issue, but why I filed on the kernel, not xserver-
xorg

(apport-collect has now run >30 mins on t42p and I've not been able to
authorize it, can't move mouse anymore, but I'm giving up... SysRq
caused reboot, so kernel is still running, even if I could not use
ctrl+alt+f4 to switch to text terminal; fyi: text terminals are easily
read)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
