It's not hanging anymore. I'm sorry I didn't think about this myself. I
hope someone having this problem can try it since this could certainly
help. I've tried reproducing with a few steps but it didn't happen again.

I'm attaching the logs.

I don't know exactly what I did. I don't use this computer very much and
there were some time lapses between the actions that led to this situation.
I didn't have a clear idea of the actions to take to upgrade to the legacy
driver, and I like to fiddle with packages plus the upgrades in testing, so
it's very possible that I broke something but I didn't ever force the
package manager to do anything.

By looking at the logs it seems I installed the legacy packages while the
current driver was installed, then tried to remove the current driver by
purging nvidia-driver and nvidia-driver-bin, after that some package
upgrading and installing.

Regards.
