Even better is to use Alt + SysRq + REISUB (sequentially) R = unRaw (take control of keyboard back from X), E = tErminate (send SIGTERM to all processes, allowing them to terminate gracefully), I = kIll (send SIGKILL to all processes, forcing them to terminate immediately), S = Sync (flush data to disk), U = Unmount (remount all filesystems read-only), B= reBoot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key Greetings, -- Jorge Martínez López <jorg...@gmail.com> http://www.jorgeml.net -- 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?
