Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
You state "It then has to be restarted the hard way (i.e. by prssing the power button for several seconds)" So does this mean even SysRq commands direct to the kernel don't work to allow a safe reboot, shutdown? (if you don't recall the keys, a quick search on a phone for "magic sysrq" will find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key which is pretty good to find the common REISUB statekeystrokes). (Not being able to use SysRq to direct kernel directly shows the kernel is a very bad state. I read a RO file-system sometimes in your description, so I'd also check the health of your hardware & explore the logs and the messages before your "the file system is read-only" mentioned issue.) You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community- support/709 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938126 Title: System hangs up or make filesystem read-only Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With kernel 4.15.0-151 the system very often (up to several times an hour) hangs up completely and doesn't react to input of any kind. It then has to be restarted the hard way (i.e. by prssing the power button for several seconds). At other times a message is displayed, saying that the file system is read-only, nothing can be saved to the hard disk anymore (i.e. no files written by applications like QtCreator). These problems haven't been observed after booting kernel 4.15.0-147.
