I want some one to tell me they hit: cntl+alr+sysrq b and > got a reboot. i explained you in my last mail that CTRL+ALT+PRINT+B is plain stoopid, so nobody will do this - i CONFIRMED multiple times that STRG+ALT+PRINT+S does a sync, i hear the drives and i get messages in dmesg, /var/log/messages AND also in a ALT-F2 console independent if there is a login or not, if there is the login-prompt i get SysRq : Emergency Sync Emergency Sync complete directly below the prompt =========================================================== When I type ctrl+alt+sysrq+s I get no sync sound from the disk on either of my two machines although dmesg tells me one has ocurred. I have read thew web sitsw content you say no one reads and have triwewd to follow its instrctions to no effect. I guess it is a matter of hand size but it is almost impossible for me to type REISB while holding down ctrl+alt+sysrq on my keyboard. On my laptop we need to add Fn which makes it even more impossible. I applaudew any one who can do that as some of oyu say you can. I have almost finished a python program where you can type: magic reisb which will make thwe whole process less trying.. As many times before it is counter productive to call someone stupid, even if you mispell stupid. I have neve seen a message: SysRq : Emergency Sync Emergency Sync complete in a alt-F2 console. So I remain confused. -- ======================================================================= Computers are like air conditioners -- they stop working properly if you open WINDOWS ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
