Ctrl-Alt-F1 will take you to a "Virtual Terminal" -- it's a console screen where you can log in just as you would at the gnome-terminal prompt. Then you issue those commands, and switch back to the running X session, which is running on VT7, with Ctrl-Alt-F7. you cna switch between the 6 built-in VT's with F1-F6; f7 is the default X session; F8 seems to echo system log messages unless you log in a second user, with 'Swtitch User', at which point a new X session will start on that screen.
Does that help? ps -- My success rate is not that high -- at best I usually end up with a barely-functional x system, try to save as much work as I can, then restart X with 'sudo restart lightdm', which destroys my X session but also resets whatever that display bug is. At worst the resultant session is just as nonresponsive as the original crashed one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966744 Title: [i965] Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended.
