Seems to be most often associated with flash video but not always (unless there is some flash video playing automatically in a tab I have open somewhere that I don't know about). In some cases, audio will continue, but everything else stops. I can move my mouse, but mouse events trigger no action. My keyboard is ignored. I can't switch to another app or even switch to a non-gui console (ctrl-alt-fn). Even my system monitor application indicator freezes. The only solution seems to be hard power down. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 up to date with all patches.
