Well today, I've had 2 lock-ups ! Both involved Epiphany |
| 13 |
-- which I find a bit faster & more convenient than FF/Konqueror -- , |
| 14 |
the 1st merely locking the browser, which I was able to kill |
| 15 |
after going to another desktop with a Konsole & running Htop, |
| 16 |
the 2nd just now involving a total lock-up as described above |
| 17 |
& yes the 'Alt-PrintScreen-K' manoeuvre does act as a get-out-of-jail card: |
| 18 |
you have to re-enter the TTY with 'Ctl-Alt-F1', |
| 19 |
where there are a lot of msgs announcing that X has been killed |
| 20 |
& you can restart it with 'startx' (my normal method). |
