Update on this. Looks like it's an old upstream bug. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196729
But now I noticed this also happens on my laptop, but it's more "recoverable" after something like 25/30 minutes. Still, this problem is NOT present in older kernels than 4.10 ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #196729 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196729 ** Also affects: linux via https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196729 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - Complete system freeze even when swapping small amounts of memory + System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1833281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
