Caveat: never used Mint, don't know it from Adam. But does Ctrl + Alt + F2 get you a terminal? It might not - if the system is sufficiently wedged, you won't be able to wrest control back from the X server. But that's what I've used for the past 15 years or so on SuSE and Slackware. -- David Fleck [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
