I wonder whether it is only me on this specific old laptop, or whether others experience the same issue:
This Packard Bell laptop has been running on LM 19.3 for the past 2 years almost daily without ever having locked up completely.
No such issues, no such complete lockups for the past 2 years. This is true for all kernels up to and including 4.15.0-147.
Yet, since K4.15.0-147 has been upgraded to K4.15.0-151, the same laptop has locked up completely twice in two days.
By completely I mean: the mouse pointer does not move any longer. Keypresses have got precisely 0 effect. This applies to the shortcuts like <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> and <Ctrl><Alt><SysReq>-r-e-i-s-u-b as well.
So after having waited for some minutes, when the harddisk LED had remained dark, too, I had to press the power button for 5 seconds. (I am really loathe to do so.)
In both cases, the machine had not been up and running for more than 2 hours, when the lock occurred.
Once it happened while I was visiting the forum. The other time it happened, when I was just about to click the [Shutdown] button.
After the second hard lockup had happened today, I decided to boot the previous kernel K4.15.0-147. So far the complete lockup has not happened again.
The good thing is that the system journal (and /var/log/syslog) have documented some serious problem, which occurred shortly before the complete lockup happened.

Yet, why then has it never happened when running under kernel K4.15.0-147, but happened twice, when running under kernel K4.15.0-151?
Might be a co-incidence. But I am not convinced.
Guess, this is one more reason to pay a visit to bugs.launchpad.net.
