Recovering from a hard X lock up

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
My Fedora 10 machine locks up X completely, but I can still login via
SSH. The monitor still shows the X window, but nothing changes, no
clock, mouse nothing. X processes are still running, but not sure how to
go about shutting them down. Last night, I tried to get the system to
shut down sanely by running shutdown -h now and although the command ran
and I couldn't login via ssh anymore, the machine did not shut down.

Can anyone tell me how to shutdown and restart X properly. Tried things
like startx( had a x lock file exists error) and init 3, but nothing worked.

Thanks!
James
