Hi I think we will need to reopen this. Since I experienced the same issue again just now.
If the report is closed how do I re-open? Pramathesh On Tue, 2015-04-14 at 22:34 +0000, Christopher M.

I had started backintime-gnome to take a backup of my home directory on an external seagate drive connected to a 4 port USB hub. This is something I do almost daily I was editing a desktop shortcut on nano when suddenly I saw a black screen with a lot of dumps and messages from the kernel (or what seemed like the kernel). The screen was frozen - no mouse movement or keyboard movement would restore it. I had to force a restart using the power button. This is the first time I have encountered something like this.
