Title:
system freezes occasionally for several minutes
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Occasionally, the system freezes: display does not show mouse move,
clock display does not update itself, ssh impossible. But the machine
remains pingable. This lasts for 2 to 20 minutes.
This is with Ubuntu 16.04.2, now upgraded to kernel version
4.8.0-46-generic.
At the end of the freeze, a bunch of messages get written to
/var/log/syslog. Examples:

starving. Taking action.

The process the rtkit-daemon talks about is, in all cases,
/usr/bin/pulseaudio.
