Ubuntu ctrl-alt-del

ok, a few times my system has locked up, not sure why. I thought I had heard ctrl-alt-backspace was like windows ctrl-alt-del, but the last few times it has done nothing. Probably because Such a key combo used to exist but Ubuntu devs removed it (ctrl+alt+backspace)
... which I just found out.

So, today I looked up what to do if this happens again.

Alt+PrintScreen+r+e+s+i+u+b
hold the alt/printscreen together while you cycle threw resiub
while cycling threw the letters hold each one up to 5 sec
This works for a total Freeze

My question is how will I remember that? LOL

OR

Also, you can use alt/prtscrn/k to do the same thing. Some times you don't need to do a whole restart, which alt/prtsrcn/rseiub will do. Just doing the "k" will restart x without rebooting.

OR


Alt-F2, type:
Code:

xkill

and click on the offending app. You can also kill or end processes through the System Monitor.


Let's just hope I can remember these when I need toLOL

ctrl-alt-del equivalent in Ubuntu

There are many, many equivalents ...


ctrl + alt + backspace

or

Use the Force Quit Button on the panels. If you right click the panel, choose Add to Panel, and search for "force quit". Then you will have a clever little button you can press to kill any misbehaving application.

or

use Alt+F2, equivelent of the run command in windows ... then type xkill and click the program i want killed.
