So yeah, I'm running an OpenSUSE 13.1 v 3.11.10 on an HP EliteBook 8570w(intel core i7, nvidia quadro graphics with proprietary driver). I've installed it recently and it still has some unresolved issues. One of the things I've noticed from the start was that the Gnome would freeze once in a while, for 10-20 seconds or so, which wasn't that dramatic and probably has a fix somewhere. What is dramatic, however, is that today I've decided to run gparted to create a new partition to share with my windows boot(resizing win, making a new ntfs) and after 5 min or so the gnome suddenly just died. It still shows update notifications and gparted slider is moving, i can wiggle my mouse pointer, etc., but other than that it's completely unresponsive and it's been stuck like this for an hour by now. And I can't just restart because I'm afraid I'd screw up my win partition. Is there a way out of this predicament?
