I didn't do any edits to fstab - the file was the one I created on the |
| 11 |
initial install on this computer a couple of months ago - computer is |
| 12 |
reasonable new. |

The problem didn't have anything to do with a reboot. I was trying to |
| 18 |
get MySQL to recognize a database that I had created on my laptop and I |
| 19 |
was following along with the documentation on the MySQL site. I had |
| 20 |
konsole open looking for stuff - I copied the database files that I |
| 21 |
wanted to use in the location of the my.cnf file. I noticed that I |
| 22 |
didn't have konsole open at one point - thought that I had closed it and |
| 23 |
when I started it up again, there was no prompt, only the black block |
| 24 |
cursor. |

I did create a new user and it didn't help. I've tried every suggestion |
| 31 |
made in this thread to no avail. For example, I changed the group of |
| 32 |
/dev/pts to tty as others indicated that that was what it was supposed |
| 33 |
to be. |
