Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.19 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

Then I try the "REISUB" command, but it doesn't do anything either. Only a hard reset works, pressing down the power button for a few seconds. How to reproduce? I couldn't figure out a consistent method. It is still random to me, although it seems to happen more often when I'm running Xfce (Xubuntu) on a recent kernel (4.17+). Xfce's default image viewer seems to be connected to it, as well. Most of the time I was having multiple instances of it when everything froze.
