Public bug reported: This bug appears to be a deadlock of some kind. It most often happens when I move the mouse (external USB mouse), but it has once happened when I left the computer logged in but idle and has sometimes happened in video conferences.
When the problem occurs, the mouse cursor still moves and any audio continues being audible for a while, but the UI is frozen and unresponsive. The fan gets very loud as if the computer is doing a lot of work. If I try the 'REISUB' method of shutting down, it usually does not work. If I remote log in and do a shutdown, it takes several minutes to actually shut down - as if waiting for some process to time out. I haven't any obvious errors for this bug, and i don't know where to look for possible error messages. It is possible that if there is a deadlock, there is no error message, unless shutting down causes the process to generate an error message. The bug happens very often, sometimes several times a week. If you could tell me what commands to run when the problem occurs in order to gather more information, I can remote login and run those commands.
