Just had to reboot after system was locked up. Error maybe related to USB2 handling talking to USB3 HUB and devices. That was the only thing that was going on when the machine locked up.

Went away for 1.5 hrs. System was left running, doing a backup and sync of off-line storage. Came back, wiggled mouse, logged in. Found system quiet. Started FreeFileSync backup (I use it alot). It started up and locked - looking for a USB3 device on a USB3 hub, currently connected via USB2. The device appeared to have gone away. Tried to "reset" drive and system locked.

It appears the .deb file is corrupt.

You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

run the steps then reinstalled linux image package. System crashed and could not be restarted with current kernel (-37). Rebooted un prior kernel (-32). System still acting up. Started to reload all packages and failed half way throught. Was able to reboot under kenerl (-37)

Failure to boot under (-37) was init sync issue.

PS: This is the script I am using trying to get all packages to relaod. Would be nice if there was a simple way to reload / upgrade to release again.
