thanks, rolfie,
that seems a sound advice;
there have been issue with some ssd before, will do some more testing;
and yes, system is updated (nor more updates proposed atm)
thank you all.

EDIT:
have been thinkging that have installed Linux wrongly since on startup there is always message:
(failed to locate :EFI : not found) or similar
but the Linux functioned "normally" nvtl until today.

and the SSD is like brandnew, so it should not be the issue.

the system is dualbooting with windows 7, maybe i have setup wrongly (the Linux is UEFI, and windows 7 could be installed in legacy, not sure).
This HP is the first workstation of them that had shipped with UEFI supposedly.

I think the router is an external device, the interface to the internet. I do not see any relation to your PC and the software its running.

Bit rot, disk error, hw fault. I would check the smart values of the disks first of all.

Have you tried updating your system or reinstalling package?

yes, error is also with non-root.

segmentation-fault -
this happend before , on other computers, sometimes when programs were not properly compatible or properly compiled (happened to me with mpv version of packaged for debian jess9e=) -
but the computer was behaving normally before - could not tell if something has gone bad -

only indicator - as said - i swapped the router (). (but rebooted).
other programs seem to open; simplenote has also opened before (it got installed via deb.file downloaded from official .git repository).

This is the problem. Reason?

Did you try a non-root user?
