I updraded to Helix Gnome, with the live auto updater thingie... after it finished donloading and installing everything it needed to reboot X. I closed prgrams and clicked "yes" which did nothing.... So I logged out to the X logon prompt, then killed X's pid.. yes I know thats prolly a bad way, but I diddn't want to reboot. Which brings me to my first question, how do I log safefly off X, its set to start on bootup... But my real question is, when it came back it was in tty8 and Gnome disappeared from the X logon prompt. I can get in KDE fine, and when I reboot my system, X returned to tty7 but the option for Gnome was still not on the dropdown box of window managers.... Anyone know where I can add it, and what the general syntax for accessing it...
Another question I have is how to exit reading a man page.. I hate getting into the habit of just killing pids, but I can't seem to close the full terminal screen man page reader. Which also brings me to my last question, how do I clear or restart a either frozen, or screwed up virtual console (tty1-tty6) It must be a key command because generally there is no prompt and Ctrl - C does not do it... THANKS so much for any help!
