Nouveau drivers causing locks in the graphics environment, locking also the keyboard, disallowing me to switch to a common non-graphic terminal to try something. I had to install a ssh client app in my smart phone so I could try to unlock the system (with no success) and, at least, shut it down gracefully. I'm also a KDE user. I've noticed more locks while using "chromium", but this might have been a coincidence. Best Regards, Francisco
