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?
