Happy Holidays, Everyone,
To lead into the problem I am experiencing, I will let you know about an
issue I've been having with my desktop (writing this from my laptop).
Every once in a while, when the screensaver kicks in and then, the
monitor goes on power save mode (something inherent to the monitor), the
screen locks (I have not set it to do this) and the only way, I can get
the computer going again is to reboot it by holding down the power
button. This is annoying, but has not caused an issue until today.
Today, I was doing a world update and the screen locked - I still had my
KDE desktop up, but couldn't open a window to kill any processes or
anything. So, I held the power button to cause a reboot. The computer
booted okay and gave me my login screen, but neither the keyboard nor
the mouse work.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Colleen
