Here's a few conditions I've discovered: When I log in it seems I have 10-25 minutes before it locks. If I don't log (leave at login screen) in it does not lock up, but it locks up almost immediately when I do log in. It's seems to only be a GUI lock. I can SSH into the machine, however top doesn't show any process using 100% cpu. Any and all ideas are appreceated. This is actually the wife's laptop which I recently converted to linux. She was a happy F9 user but when my preupgrade upgrade went so well on my laptop I decided to upgrade her's as well. Needless to say she's less than thrilled right now.
