it happened to me a bit ago,and what I did was to go in and unmount the nfs
mounts I had set up,then remounted them and it went away
control/alt/backspace will do it kill the x session I've found out thanks to
the list here,or press cntrl/alt and one of the Fkeys, log in as root,and
enter "ps ax" and find out the last process that's listed with a different
tty than the one that's listed with "ps ax" after it.
then kill that process
ie:
891 tty1 x xxx xxxx
900 tty2 x ps ax
kill 891
That's how I've been doing it,so if it's wrong someone jump in here
please!
