Hello. Yesterday I was downloading torrent using kTorrent, and due to the process I left my PC ‘on’ the whole night. This morning, when I tried to log-in, the PC didn’t responding. There was just a whole black screen on the monitor, but oddly the mouse cursor still appeared and even responded if I moved it.
Any method to log-in (even the alt + Prt Scr SysRq and R - S - E - I - U - B/O method) didn’t worked. The last option left was the hard-reset. And when it reboot back, the BIOS seem unable to detect the HDD, but not the CD/DVD drive. Clueless and didn’t know what to do next, I just shutdown the PC and left it for a while.
About 3 hours later, I restarted the PC. Fortunately, all appeared and worked as normal. Thought that it was a bug, I intended to file it in Bugzilla. Unintentionally, I searched in Bugzilla, if the bug had been reported before. And it leaded me to :https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577140. Seem to me, the symptoms are similar to my situation.
So, I’m hoping, base on the Bugzilla bug report above, someone could confirm, if this fixes/patch suit and able to fix my PC situation? And if the fixes/patch suit, how could I apply it on my PC? Hope someone could shed me some light. Thanks.
