kill - key sequence ?

Post by pcsnow »

When my GUI hangs, I want to be able to kill by session and restart.

I have seen a variety of suggestions about how to kill a process, etc.

I am HUNG. They mouse stops working or there is limited control of the mouse.


In the OLD, OLD days, you could CTRL-ALT-DEL and it would blow away X and allow a restart.

Any such key sequence now ?

Search on forum found a similar inquiry "Unable to Logout LXDE"
dated July 17, 2014 but there were no replies.

Is this an FAQ? Where to look for FAQs ?
Thank You

OK, I solved it myself.


/etc/xinitrc

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

No, I don't want to kill anything or "stop" or "restart". Just want to blow it away with a single combined set of keystrokes.
