That's happened to me before (on (pre-stable) woody and sid). What I found with that machine is that it tends to do that if I switch out of X with a load average > 5 (which would happen frequently on that system). What I also noticed, is that later, I could switch back to the console normally. As this does not happen with my other systems, I assumed that the issue was my old laptop's hardware (just attaching an external monitor would cause quite the performance hit to non-graphics related programs (like apt-get)). -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
