Hi Clive,
Yes. Locks up after showing the fault warning, no button pressing is
acted on even Cntr/Alt/del. Screen is black, like a terminal window,
fault shown at top line.
I'm not sure if Ctrl-Alt-Delete should do anything if you're on a
virtual terminal. What about Alt-1, Alt-2, etc?

I gave incorrect info as Cntrl/Alt/Del does a restart. Sorry.
Nothing works except by pressing the power button.
hi Clive,
With:-
sudo gedit /var/log/gdm/:0.log (thanks Dan)
Got into :0.log but did not understand what was listed, large file, is there
any way to save file and post to you without copy to list? Assume I can
give different name with 'save as' from getdit and save to my documents
