No response to Ctrl-Alt-BSpace, Ctrl-Alt-Fn, even Ctrl-Alt-Del. I logged in via ssh from my iPhone and brought it down gently, though I could of course have simply changed run levels. In this kind of situation it would be nice to have an unblockable attention key, like SysRq but not so low-level. Something that would simply force the system into VT2 for example, and didn't depend on X working. poc -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
