Getting into the Desktop 3
3. Select OK from the pop-up menu. This logs you out and returns you to either the graphical
login screen or to your shell login prompt. (If you select Shut Down, the system shuts
down, and if you select Reboot, the system restarts.)
4. Select OK to finish exiting from GNOME.
If you are unable to get to the Log Out button (if, for example, your panel crashed), there are two
other exit methods. Try one of these ways, depending on how you started the desktop:
If you started the desktop by typing startx from your login shell, press Ctrl+Backspace to
end your GNOME session. Or you could press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to return to your login shell.
Then press Ctrl+C to kill the desktop.
If you started the desktop from a graphical login screen, first open a Terminal window
(right-click the desktop and select New Terminal). In the Terminal window, type ps x |
grep gnome-session to determine the process number (PID) shown in the left column.
Then type kill -9 PID, where PID is replaced by the PID number. You should see the
graphical login screen.
Although these are not the most graceful ways to exit the desktop, they work. You should be able
to log in again and restart the desktop.
