Hi Mike!

Found some information to update this thread:

Was looking around trying to figure out why I'm having Desktop lockups 
but the mouse still moves over and Pithos still plays.  (Newer issue 
here -- appears is a problem that has been around for years over 
multiple versions.)  Anyway, found Ubuntu disables many of the magic 
sysrq key combinations by default.  (That ought to give Ky some more
ammunition!!)  

Appears there might be some other options -- haven't tried as 
fortunately no lockups to try on -- yet.  Take a look at (and probably 
print out!!) at     https://askubuntu.com/questions/783501/what-do-i-do-
if-ubuntu-16.04-freezes-but-i-can-move-only-the-mouse
