I can't get control over the system again... It's still running, but it doesn't respond to anything like ctrl-alt-backspace.
Use the Magic System Request Key! First try Alt-SysRq-k killing all programs on the current virtual terminal. If that fails, do the following: Alt-SysRq-S a few times syncing unsaved data to the disk Then do Alt-SysRq-u to remount your filesystems read only. And do a Alt-SysRq-b to reboot. HTH BB, Arjen
