1. Look into your kernel .config if m-sysrq is in your kernel: CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y Standard Fedora kernels have it compiled in, but it is disabled by default. 2. Set "kernel.sysrq = 1" in /etc/sysctl.conf and do a "sysctl -p". 3. Now press the right ALT key together with PrtScrn, keep holding this combination and press e.g. "s". Now you should see this in /var/log/messages: Aug 21 07:53:07 wildsau kernel: [ 1541.017462] SysRq : Emergency Sync Aug 21 07:53:07 wildsau kernel: [ 1541.017702] Emergency Sync complete -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
