Here's what I'd like you to try: - go through the steps that cause the problem - when the system is locked, open a new terminal window. - in that window, type ps -eaf | grep java which will list out the process for the idv. - find the process id and then type: kill -3 pid replacing pid with the process id from the ps listing. - copy and paste that listing to an email and send it to support-idv.
