[...] The solution is quite simple: I had no idea that the latter option, i.e. pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, exists at all. (If I didn't overlook something, there was no mentioning in the announcement of the new Hurd console, cf http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/HurdConsole ) So while looking for a way to exit the console I tried killing all kinds of processes which did't deliver the desired results. Sorry and thanks for enlightening me. Still, I think I have experienced instances of the console freezing randomly (while I was using lynx) and not accepting any more keyboard input. But I don't know if I can reproduce the scenario that provoked this. Johannes -- ~/.signature under construction
