well, you can force X to quite via "ctl-alt-backspace" but if you're running a display manager, that'll just return you to your graphical login. try "ctl-alt-f1" and you'll be back at your console. (your X display will still be at "ctl-alt-f7" if you want to get back to it.) then you can tinker from there. to see how to keep your display manager from taking over, see a recent debian-user thread "Re: give me the command line - REPHRASED". -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #19 from Dave Sherohman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)? Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead of the common names for services using a particular port) then try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat". Also try "lsof -i" as root. "man lsof" for details. Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
