I've had this kind of thing happen on a system without a lot of RAM and
a broken hard drive that took too long (sometimes forever) to respond to
system calls. DrRacket uses a lot of memory, so it'll swap easily.
I don't remember which log you look in for errors like that. You might
also try a fsck on the drive the swap space is on and see if it hangs or
spits out I/O errors.

I'm not sure how to better communicate with ubuntu, but if you run
drracket from a shell / terminal window then there might be some output
in that window after the crash happens that might be a hint.

New to modern Linux, screwing up Racket for far too long...
DrRacket is hanging repeatedly for me under Ubuntu... the screen
will darken and the program will become unresponsive. It eventually
dies, Ubuntu tries to report the problem, and fails.
FWIW, Firefox often exhibits similar behaviour when I'm on GMail
trying to tell you of my troubles, but Ubuntu's reporting tools seem
to work better.
Hints?
TIA, Pat
PS Life under Ubuntu is still far better than life under Windows,
but I suspect my root problem is a very crash prone Acer laptop.
