There is a button on your keyboard marked "pause". Try hitting that at the point you want to read stuff. I don't know for sure that will work, but I think it is worth a try. I believe hitting it again will get things rolling again. Haven't tried it for ages...

When you have closed your applications and want to shutdown or reboot, try this:
Press Alt + SysRQ 'all the time' and then slowly press one key per second or slower, and wait for output, press
r e i s u b
At least in 12.04 you will get some output, let us hope it corresponds to the output you get at normal shutdown.
This is also a good method to make a controlled shutdown in case the desktop environment will not receive normal commands (much better than the power button).

Yes, this is very true. I don't really see much output from that generally, but then I do usually do it pretty quick.
I don't know that the messages that come, if any, will be the same as a normal shutdown. I think the process that reisub triggers is a little different to a normal shutdown procedure.
