[ubuntu-za] Spontaneous Logout in 14.04

[Robin Bownes]

Hi Ashton,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not even sure if the ACPI thing is linked in 
any way - just something that came up in one of the many online threads 
I followed. I'll try the "kill -9 -1" thing just now, after a couple of 
downloads have finished. What exactly does "kill -9 -1" do?
