Thanks for all the ideas. I'll keep them handy for the next time (it |
50 |
usually happens |
51 |
about once or twice a month). |
52 |
|
53 |
In the meanwhile, a couple of notes: |
54 |
1) Yes, it's REALLY locked up. But there's always enough CPU left |
55 |
for a non-X login from another machine. It has to be another machine |
56 |
because I can't even switch to a console terminal. |
57 |
2) I have no clue how to find out what's causing the lockup. I'd |
58 |
love to, because I usually lose a bunch of work in the crash. |
59 |
3) I don't see anything labeled "SysReq" on my keyboard, but it's |
60 |
associated with the PrintScreen key on my wife's box. Can I hope |
61 |
alt-printscreen-K will work? (I personally wonder about it since |
62 |
_nothing_ else on the keyboard works, but maybe the kernel can see |
63 |
it). |
64 |
|
65 |
Again, thanks. I'll say more when it happens again. |
