It may be a coincidence that Ubuntu 14.04 locked up the two times I repeated the steps outlined in this report.
I now recall an old bug I reported that might be the true cause of this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1314368 I'm not certain, but again, I'm reporting all I know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395794 Title: Chrominum Locks Up Ubuntu 14.04 Status in Pepperflashplugin Nonfree: New Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Twice today, I had to shutdown my Ubuntu 14.04 improperly due to system lock-up. Each time the lockup happened, these are the exact steps I did: 1) Launch Chromium browser 2) Go to https://login.microsoftonline.com 3) type in an email address 4) Press tab (attempting to move cursor to password field) At this point the entire system locked up. The only recent package I recall installing (related to Chromium) was the pepperflashplugin-nonfree. So, it may be a bug in that plugin that is the culprit. I'm not sure, but I hope my report helps.
