I'm not sure what's happening on my new laptop - the F13 one.
I had quite a
few windows open. when suddenly the screen scrambled - it looked as though
holes were punched in every character. The wallpaper and plasmoids were
unaffected. It held like that for a few seconds, then dropped out to a black
screen with a white cursor. It wouldn't accept any input from keyboard or
mouse.
I powered off, waited a while and powered up again. It got to the f-infinity
buble completed, and stuck there. Thinking that it may be a kernel update (I
usually reboot when I see one, but could have missed doing) I tried the
previous kernel. Exactly the same. f-infinity. That's all.
Any ideas as to what could have gone wrong? Without a clue it's difficult to
decide on a plan of action.
