Uh, CTRL-ALT-F1??? or F2, F3, etc... 8-) Although, since I'm still a 
noob, when I do an F1 to the console, I usually wind up doing a sudo 
reboot from there to continue, as I'm not really sure yet what to do 
once I get there. I'm sure with a little more reading on my part, that 
it's possible to query, and kill processes from the other tty to get it 
running properly again, and then log back into it.
