Hello, Just had another crash, with a full screen app. Tried all the emergency recovery techniques mentioned earlier, but nothing seemed to restore a console or screen I could work with. Did a reboot. :-(
For several of the emergency things, it seemed as though linux was still working (I could move the mouse), and I just couldn't get to a useful spot. Would it be a good idea to set up a 'back door' from another computer on the local net, and then use that to access the 'stuck' machine? How would be the most secure way to set this up? Can I restrict the login to just one or more of the local net IP addresses? Is it unsafe to use telnet, even though the local net is 'safe', or should I use ssh? Is this a good idea at all. :-) -- Best regards, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
