My complaint was about having a system with basically no keyboard. I |
| 19 |
had to unplug mine without a proper shutdown. That is my complaint. It |
| 20 |
should at least have a fall back or something. Heck, running xorgconfig |
| 21 |
again would have been better than this mess. I wonder if that would |
| 22 |
work? I do recall at one time that the GUI would not start if no mouse |
| 23 |
was found. Wonder what happened there? |

No, I don't have another machine to ssh in. I wish I did. It's have a |
| 26 |
working keyboard or hit the reset button/pull the plug. Nether is a |
| 27 |
good option. I bought a nice UPS to prevent this sort of mess. |
