After reinstalling "Factory Reset KDE Neon" on my Pinebook 1080P (it crashed in the middle of updating) I was in the middle of updating applications when the computer starting freezing every 5-10 minutes, requiring me to shut the system down by long-pressing the power button and pressing it again.
I found a thread in this forum tracing similar behavior back to Firefox (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7690) so I removed the setting that autoloaded Firefox when KDE Neon loads ( per https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6443 page 3). I have tried working carefully without Firefox running, and the system still freezes.
My only major adjustments to the system's operation have been to enable it to start up without prompting for username/password, and enlarging the default font.
Any ideas what might be causing this behavior?
Thanks in advance, R.M.
Hiya, I am on:
DISTRIB_ID=neon
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="KDE neon User Edition 5.16"
on the Pinebook (not the 1080p) and seem to have similar issues.
When logged on to kdeshell the windows environment hangs while using some apps for a while.
When the windows environment hangs, I am able to switch to the virtual consoles, e.g. tty2 via ctrl-alt-F2-F6, and log in e.g. to have a look at syslog
but haven't been able to find sth usefull yet (need to look further).What I wondered though if in your case your KDE neon has totally crashed or are you also able to still login via virtual console or ssh (if on)|?
Cheers.

p.s. I am also looking for a way to recover without rebooting, which I just did, but I need to verify what I have done exactly
