I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. Sometimes I leave it for 10-20 minutes (or
more) and when I come back, the screen saver is frozen and everything
seems to be locked up on the local console. However, everything seems
to be running. I can ssh in from another machine and all looks OK.
I've tried killing things off to try to get the local console back to
no avail.
Any ideas on how I can revive the local console without rebooting the
machine? When I kill the screen saver, the screen generally goes
black. Even if I can get it to come back to a login or something.
Thanks for any comments.
Michael
