Hi everyone, Ever since I installed opensuse 12.1, my system from time to time just locks up. I cannot hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice to get out of X because the keyboard is unresponsive. Ctrl-alt-delete does not work either. The only thing that responds is the mouse, and only to movement, not to clicks on anything. The screen freezes and nothing moves. This last time it happened today I had thunderbird open and was doing some emails, as well as dolphin so that I could look at some files. I was not doing anything extraordinary. I might have had firefox open also for something - I can't remember for sure. There does not seem to be any consistency in what I am doing when it locks up. It happened twice today, so this last time I made a note of the time that it locked up, and I have copied the previous 20 minutes of log entries from /var/log/messages here below. Any help to try and get this problem fixed would be appreciated! Oh also, I am running on systemd and not sysvinit. I don't know if that would have any bearing on the problem, but I am open to suggestions. Here are the log entries. The crash happened at 12:39 on the clock in my system tray. I didn't know how far back in time I needed to copy the logs so here it is.
