I used my 13.04 Ubuntu this morning fine. I then stopped using it for a
few hours. When I tried to start it up (move mouse, press arrow keys,
etc.) no action. The screen is black( but on), the computer does not
respond. I tried to access another virtual screen (tried alt F1 and
ctrl alt f1 (forgot which is right), no action. Powered down (pushed
power sw for 20 sec. Then powered up: leds flashed on both dvd drives,
heard a noise fan or hd?, no action on the screen. I unplugged the vga
conn. got a no signal. plugged it back in, black. The only change to
the 'system' that I have made recently is to turn off the screen after
a while and spin down the hd after a while (exact times unknown).
thoughts?

psst: is this what 'kernel panic' means?
