[Bug 34859] Re: gdm does not restart after Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

[Cesare Tirabassi]

For the many users which have this  problem and have been redirected
here, there are two workaround solutions (until the fix is released):

Work-around 1): Log off from Gnome -> In the login screen press Ctrl-
Alt-Backspace (may not always work)

Work-around 2): Open a console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 (all F keys from
1 to 6 are valid) -> login -> type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart -> give
password -> enjoy your restart.....

If by error you end in the "frozen" situation (for instance if
accidentally pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) DO NOT shutdwon the system
using the power button! You can gracefully shutdown by pressing Ctrl-
Alt-Del or restart gdm by using the same procedure as in 2) above.

** Summary changed:

- gdm does not restart after Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
+ gdm / X server does not restart after Ctrl + Alt+ Backspace

-- 
gdm / X server does not restart after Ctrl + Alt+ Backspace
