Haha :) No, it's just that, as far as I can see, the impact on newbies is that we tell them to reboot instead of doing ctrl-alt-backspace. Total cost: about twenty seconds (time to reboot vs. time to restart X).
Oh. it is a secret project to test data loss for ext4!
Killing X kills all X apps in any case, so they're not going to lose any data rebooting that they wouldn't have lost anyway by doing ctrl-alt-backspace.
UNEXPECTED FILE INCONSISTENTY, please run fsck manually We'll see if the newbies can find /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 as their disk and see if the figure out the "-y" option in time for F12 :) Paul ps. This is slightly less of a joke. It's the real difference of having or not having ctlr-alt-bksp (or alt-sysrq-o, or was it alt-sysrq-r? and did I have to wait for it to print 'OK' before hitting alt-sysrq-b again? oh wait sysctl.conf had this disabled.) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
