No more user input



Just in the nik of time, 23:11, my system stops accepting any input accept for the power button. Trackpad nor keyboard give any response, the cursor is stuck to the screen.
The power button does give a dialog window with some options, but no way to press them.
After closing the laptop lid and reopening, the screen stays black.

I could recover the machine by long-pressing the power button. After that, all applications are neatly restored (accept Chrome, the Chrome tabs do not get restored somehow..). So I set out for a quick check what went wrong.

No crash report, and in the system logs is little information. The only suspicious lines I could find are these:


2013-05-08 23:06:01.922 warmd[55]: [_bootcachectl_playlist_for_file:3158] Unable to generate playlist for file: 22 Invalid argument
2013-05-08 23:06:01.923 warmd[55]: [_bootcachectl_playlist_for_file:3158] Unable to generate playlist for file: 22 Invalid argument
2013-05-08 23:06:01.923 warmd[55]: [_bootcachectl_playlist_for_file:3158] Unable to generate playlist for file: 22 Invalid argument
2013-05-08 23:06:18.000 kernel[0]: FTDIUSBSerialDriver:        0  4036001 start - ok

This is basically the last exciting thing in the logs before I force-restarted my machine.
Quick searching on Google did not help me to understand the issue better, I'll try to get some more info on this later.

Coming days I will not spend behind the computer, so probably it will be a few days without posts on this blog.
