Linux Problem
« on: 28 November 2002, 00:18 »
After over 2 weeks of uptime I may have to reboot Linux.   :(  

I was letting a friend use the machine under a normal user account. After my friend left it stopped responding. The mouse moves, screensaver worksn and the clock works, but no response to cliocks anywhere. Any way I can get around this without rebooting?(Its been like this for about a day now   :(

What did he do exactly? Did you log out and log in again?

 Did you log out and went to only text mode and then log in again and start x ?

Closed all the programs he was running (Gaim and Galeon) then left. I went to log him out and realized it wasn't working.

CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE should restart X, and fix your problem.

Try restarting the GUI on windows without restarting... (and ms-dos mode doesn't count)

I wouldn't wonder too much... i say and think stupid things at times. (I don't think I understand your question) I was just making a point that if windows were to freze you'd have to restart it, you couldn't just press ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the graphical environment. and yes, i was talking about windows.
