** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox System randomly freezes requiring a hardware reset to restart. System comes up normally with restart. Upwards of 50% of the time the cursor is on the right hand vertical browser scroll bar; another 40% somewhere on a gui browser screen and the remaining occurrences like the one shown below while editing in a text terminal. Browser in use with this failure was Seamonkey Browser (thinking perhaps it was a Firefox error), but normally Firefox. When system starts up initially it runs fine and fast but over the next hour becomes extremely sluggish. The system cpu shows very low utilization so unless something is running that isn't being monitored, it doesn't appear to be looping. File activity and memory utilization is quite low as well. A review of system logs shows; as noted below in the Xorg.1.log file: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call which hopefully is a clue. Any thoughts would be appreciated. This is an application development workstation / server so I need it to work. Unable to run ubuntu-bug /Apport since it's not clear which package is at fault and since the PID is no longer active after the required hardware reset and reboot.
