Right, thanks for the information.
Let's get consolekit to tell us what is going on.
*Note that this operation will require a reboot to get some things
functional again*
First, please kill consolekit and then launch it in debug mode:
sudo pkill -u root console-kit-dae; sudo console-kit-da
strace command was running for ~ 2seconds (and it generated an output of
133K in those 2 seconds).
About my cron jobs, I've the normal jobs (these installed by default
plus jobs for vnstat and sysstat).

Hi,
Thanks for doing that. I forgot to ask you to use the flag to

laptop screen) the output of strace command is just:
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>

Hi,
Could you please run
strace -o /tmp/strace.txt -p $(pidof console-kit-daemon)
for a few seconds when it is hung, then CTRL-C it to

Thanks,
James

Disabling "screen powersave" solves nothing, the error occurs. This is:
after closing the laptop cover *for a while* (it's not enough with
closing it during some seconds) the uptime command show a load average
of ~5.00 and there are ~2000K of writing operations to disk. Really
