root is loged in on text console 1 but it will not accept text entry from the keyboard. How can I kill it from text console 2 without rebooting?

First, you might have hit ctrl-S, which pauses output to the terminal, and ctrl-Q will restart it. If Ctrl-Q doesn't work, then on another terminal ps -ef | grep ttyXX (where XX is the locked up terminal) Then use kill -15 on the processes running on the terminal Since it's a root login, you'll have to run the kill command as root, too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
