I do not know if there is a ubuntu key stroke to reboot your computer but I do know that from a terminal you can type sudo reboot. If you do an alt F2 will bring up run application and then check "run in terminal". I hope that helps. Charlie --- On Wed, 7/1/09, Mark C.

Is there a comparable key combination in Ubuntu for Window's control-alt- delete? I recently upgraded a computer to Ubuntu 8.10. After entering my userid and password, the system just stopped working. I wanted to reboot, but the upper panel was not yet visible, so I didn't have access to the drop- down menu with that option. I ended up just unplugging the computer; doesn't strike me as the ideal way of doing things. Thanks. mcm -- Mark C.
