after ALT F4 - can I go back to the desktop or do I need to reboot?

[fooman]

do you mean ctrl-alt-f4 (or -f1, -f2, -f3)?

if so...ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back.

Yes, ALT F7 brought me back to the desktop.

Gee, this were scary 10 Minutes.

Thank you, Merci, Danke, Kiitos, 谢谢

Thank you. I was doing "sudo reboot" to get out. If I had just searched for this before.

Thanks.
