Try this: Reboot. When you get the black screen, hit CTL-ALT-BKSPC

Note that X now by default disables control-alt-backspace now. This
is an Ubuntu page but it documents it.

Meanwhile it can be enabled again. I always enable it. Along with
setting a Compose key. I will throw that in here as a freebie.
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -option compose:menu -option

Ah! The classic Can't-leave-it-alone-until-I-fix-it masochist. They
have a support group for that. We meet every Tuesday at 7. Use my
name to get the fresh donuts. ;-)
Love it! :-)
There is also "Install All The Things" Anonymous. Not only am I a
member, but I am the President. Does it take an entire can of coffee to
fuel up a coffee urn? We hold our meetings right after the
"Can't-leave-it-alone-until-I-fix-it" meeting. Lisi promises to bring
Styrofoam cups. :) Ric
