analyzing lockups

[mike acker]

I've been getting a hard-lock-out occasionaly recently

is there a particular log file i can check?

next time i'll try the alt-sysreq

ctrl-alt-backspace -- hasn't helped nor has alt-F2

i'm starting to suspect a memory fault...

You haven't written which DE you are using, which Debian version, etc.
Install inxi and post the ouput of

Code: Select all

inxi -F

please.

I suggest you read man journalctl. You may find a clue in commands like

Code: Select all

journalctl -b -1 -p 3

I'll did into this !!

[mike acker]

each time I've had a D-9 lockup recently:

1. I was running Firefox 58, 59, or 60 in terminal mode ( not really installed )

2. on the restart it appeared AdBlock Plus (ABP) -- had updated itself

[Wheelerof4te]

Try removing Adblock Plus and installing Adblock.
Use the new web extension, xul extensions from the repo are not compatible with Firefox 57+.
