Hi Guys,
I recently went from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04LTS and since have been issue of randomly losing control of XBMC. It usually happens after resuming from suspended mode or after switching from full screen to windowed mode while running Unity or GNOME Flashback (Metacity). This also happens randomly at any given time while sitting idle or playing a video but it's most common during those two events.
I can tell that the software hasn't crashed as any scrolling text and or video never stutters when I lose input control. The OS still responds as I've been able to access run level 1 via ctrl-alt-F1, and if it happens to stop responding during windowed mode, I can still control the OS and other apps normally.
I've read a few forum postings which mention a problem with SDL and loss of input control but I'm not sure I'm dealing with the same case.
Cheers,
