I am running Ubuntu 12.10 on 2 different computers. This happens on both of them. When I plug in the Belkin usb to serial adapter, the pc goes to black screen and is locked up. I suspected the adapter was bad EXCEPT.... it works perfectly in Windows 7. Has anyone seen anything like this. I found a couple pages online about the driver but I suspect it has nothing to do with that since it shut down before I ever tried setting up the driver.

Thanks ahead of time.
