I have a problem with Ubuntu 9.04, sometimes the whole system freezes and does not respond to any keyboard or mouse input. Is there any keyboard shortcut to reset the system to avoid forcing the computer to restart manually? I would appreciate your help. Thanks
How to get out of a ubuntu crash?
Hi,
Yes there is a way to restart your computer without forcing it manually. You can use keyboard shortcut to shut down or restart your computer using an Ubuntu operating system.
The process is called Restart ‘X’. With this process you can use keyboard shortcut to restart your computer. When your computer does not respond to its mouse control, that time you can press “Ctrl +Alt+ BackSpace” keyboard shortcut key for an immediate restart your computer.
This process Restart ‘X’ is only for the Ubuntu operating system. This will bypass manually force restart. And it is a safe and controlled process. So no possibility lost of data or system failure.

Hello Sandrine,
Have you checked your system compatibility with Ubuntu 9.04? There might be a problem of low RAM. As you mentioned that when your computer freezes, your keyboard does not respond as well as the mouse then how can you restart the computer using the keyboard? There is a short key for restarting the computer. Press “Ctrl+Alt+Delete “once it will immediately restart your computer without saving any data.
