Confirming this bug. I am running only Openbox, and setting the date even a couple of seconds back instantly causes the described unresponsiveness (mouse moves, applications update the screen normally, but clicks and keys do nothing). There is a way to avoid the power- cycle:
Hit Alt+SysRq+R, then Alt+F1. (SysRq is usually the same as PrintScreen, Alt+SysRq+R gives Linux raw control of the keyboard, which takes it away from X) This is a really annoying bug... my system clock changes every time I wake up my computer from sleep (system clock syncs with hardware clock). -- Clicking "Synchronize Now" in Time and Date Settings causes ubuntu to stop responding https://launchpad.net/bugs/49876 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
