Hmm, sounds like disk corruption.  If there's a sudden read-only appearing then
it's often because the kernel found a file system error and doesn't want to make
the situation worse.  It then remounts the affected file-system read-only.
According to the top of your screenshot, even /tmp is read-only.  I think we
don't use a tmpfs, so that's the root file system.

Could you check dmesg for signs?
