I've got a bit of an off-topic issue here,
So I got all the sources and stuff downloaded, dependencies resolved etc, geth is happily synchronizing and ethminer compiling... I walk away and come back to find unbuntu has password locked the screen in screensaver mode and the input lag is so bad I can't input the password. I move the mouse and 30 seconds later the cursor moves. Now I can't monitor the compile progress and synchronization. I can't cycle the power or I'll probably corrupt shit and mess it up while it's busy.
This is horrific, unbuntu is really leaving a bad impression on me!
EDIT:
This keeps getting worse, it's a bug from 2007. Time to fix this issue.
