I have a desktop computer that streams internet radio all day for me (Xubuntu 12.04 x86_64, freshly installed several months ago). Just now I decided to shut off the radio and watch a movie with VLC. However, while the mouse moves around, it will not click. And I notice that the clock says 2:47 PM, when it is really 7:57 pm. The keyboard is also not operational. But the weird thing is that the radio continues to play. I assume that means that it is just X that has locked up.
This is about the third time that this has happened. As I recall, last time there were no messages in /var/log/messages or in Xorg messages. However, this time I know it happened at 2:47 pm, not that that information is much help. Without a keyboard or a mouse I'm going to have to reboot. This is annoying. The video is just GeForce 6150, pretty vanilla, and I'm using just the default nouveau driver; never installed anything else. I'm wondering if it's time to bid Ubuntu goodbye and go to something else that has an xfce flavor. I'm tired of constant updates and breakages that I can't diagnose. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
