--- Comment #53 from Stefan Dirsch
a) ssh -- is there a way I can exec command which will switch me to console without using ssh? I tried "chvt 1" from KDE level, it says: Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
It would be much simpler for me.
Didn't you tell me your keyboard is dead. How do you want to type "chvt 1" then? Confused. BTW, you need to be root to run chvt.
b) X -- what do you mean? I can log out (from KDE) --> KDM --> log in (new session, KDE), keyboard will work. Or I can start new session --> KDM --> log in (KDE), and keyboard will work. IOW: dead keyboard is per X session issue.
Just kill the 'X' process in process table. The displaymanager will start a new Xserver. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
