Comment 56 for bug 479296

I can confirm what tomato-paste said about just the GUI being stuck. I have Karmic installed on my desktop, and at random times, everything but the mouse gets locked up. I can move the mouse around, and sometimes even carets in their textboxes are still blinking, but I cannot click or type anything. However, if sshd is running, I can log into the machine, and everything appears to be fine. When logged in like this, I can run "sudo shutdown -r now" to bring the system down gracefully.

Every once in a while, when brought down like this, when it reboots, it will hang on a black screen that says:

"fsck ...
n files, m directories..."

I have no clue where to start debugging this, and am on the verge of reverting back to Jaunty.
