sitor Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Or for the lazy or very newbies among us, what also seems to work is a reboot. Yeah, yeah, I know. That is not the linux way. It is just way easier to remember. Ciao, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitor Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 psycho-killer, Wasn't laughing at you, rather at myself, since when I have a lock-up, I do use the reboot (I'm only a newbie myself, and to be honest too lazy to go looking for what file to change or delete).
