Well today, I've had 2 lock-ups ! Both involved Epiphany -- which I find a bit faster & more convenient than FF/Konqueror -- , the 1st merely locking the browser, which I was able to kill after going to another desktop with a Konsole & running Htop, the 2nd just now involving a total lock-up as described above & yes the 'Alt-PrintScreen-K' manoeuvre does act as a get-out-of-jail card: you have to re-enter the TTY with 'Ctl-Alt-F1', where there are a lot of msgs announcing that X has been killed & you can restart it with 'startx' (my normal method). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
