Bug Description
Hi,
Its been three days since I got this beta up and running on my Core 2 Duo T7300 system (I chose 64bit editiion), and didnt had any problems at all.
Today, while I was midway extracting a relatively large archive file (about 150+ Meg Eclipse tar), the system just froze.
I could move my mouse and keyboard lights still responded, but there was no response from system of either keyboard or mouse events.
I simply had to cold boot the system.
Now after reboot, it looks ok again (sending this report from the same system)...
Is there a way to collect info on the last freeze ? Some kind of info collection for bug filing ??
could be one off thing, or could be something else...

Exactly the same thing happened to me twice now. it works fine 99% of the time but sometimes will just freeze. Never happened on Gutsy and never happens on WinXP either.
I thought it might be SATA-related since the hard drive light flashes once every couple of seconds while it is frozen. I can move the mouse pointer around the screen but I cannot do anything else. I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 to drop to console, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset Xorg, even Ctrl-Alt-Del didn't work!
After a cold boot (hard power down) it all works fine.
I am running an Athlon XP 2800+ on a Gigabyte board with 1.5GB RAM, a Seagate SATA drive. Graphics is an ATI Radeon 9200.
It is not a fresh install, I upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy 7.10.
Applications I had open at the time (both times) were Gnome-terminal, Nautilus, Gedit, Evolution, Firefox and OpenOffice Writer.
