I think you've missed Richmond's point. Switching to an existing shell still takes many minutes in such a situation. He's suggesting a new mechanism that allows such a thing, or creation of a new shell as well, even when memory is overloaded.
If switching alone is already taking too long, how could creating of a new shell plus switching to it be lighter for an overloaded system? It seems I really missed something.
No, the virtual terminal and shell would become high priority, and all graphical tasks would become tertiary and be swapped out and no cpu time allowed to them. If no way to know graphical tasks, then everything else but the emergency shell.
It ought to be possible. There is something very odd to me that I am not able to do anything with my computer because it has decided it has more important things to do than listen to me. I should have absolute and overriding control if I really want it. Certainly logging in on the console as soon as I boot up is helpful, but I keep forgetting to do it. The computer has a max of 2G of RAM. It is rather old. I am only using it because a newer one died. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
