Comment 9 for bug 443318

I am experiencing problem right now.

Regarding Konsole: I can open new konsole windows but these have the same problem, all input is blocked. Not only keyboard input, executing a "bookmark" neither works. In the current session i think the output also ceased, i cannot tell for sure. After first signs of lock up i was able to open another tab but that was locked as well. By now the konsole window is completely frozen, the window only shows title, all other (menu, prompt etc.) items have vanished, the window still hass it's original size.

I cannot switch to the command line console, CTRL-ALT-Fn does not do anything.

I started xterm, after konsole locked up, and it shows exactly the same problems.

All other applications still work, it looks as if only in/output to shells is affected.

System activity shows "disk-sleep" under CPU%, current processes showing disk sleep are konsole, xterm, events/0 and apt-get. apt-get was running in the konsole terminal.

When i reboot the system (only possible through hard-reset) i will get the empty konsole window at login, after closing it i am able to start new konsole windows.

This is the information i can retrieve at this moment, any tips on how to extract more usable info when the problem occurs is welcome.
