[ELECTRON] Frozen Ububntu.

[Martin McGrath]

Well, in order to be any help you're going to have to provide some more
information.

What sort of mouse is it? (USB/PS2)? Wireless?
Does your keyboard work or is that also frozen?
If it is working try pressing the escape key then moving the mouse.
If your keyboard is working and the escape trick doesn't work open up a new
shell (ctrl + alt + f2) and see if dmesg or /var/log/messages sheds any
light on the problem.

Thanks

Martin
