Fedora Qns. Need Help

[fyreX]

Hi Guys,

Need your expertise and experience.

I was on this fedora OS, Im not sure whats the version.

Was running this application, when i tried to minimize it, it disappear.

As the guy who install this application has left, I do not know which folder he installed to. hence i used "whereis" and manage to search out the application.

I clicked on the application, it load, but it was a enlarged version. after that it just hanged.

Will a hard reboot solve this problem?

We tried getting someone to reboot the system, (he said he did) but I still seeing the same thing(application hanged) on my remote console.


i know, that need to find the process to kill it, but at the moment i cant even access the cli/command prompt to enter the kill process command.


will another hard reboot be able to resolve this? thanks!

Hi there!

First off... what application are you talking about?

I do not know which folder he installed to

The which command is a great tool:

Flint@Lock-laptop:~$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox

after that it just hanged.

How did it hang? Freezing during launch?

i know, that need to find the process to kill it, but at the moment i cant even access the cli/command prompt to enter the kill process command.

Use the top command.

Reboots won´t solve your problem.
What makes you think, they would?

Which application and version are you talking about?

Additionally, please paste the output of:

cat /etc/fedora-release
uname -a

thanks dude. i do not personally think reboot is always the solution to a problem.

reboot a system is always a last desperate resort for me to try out.

during the time the application hanged, i was unable to alt tab to other workspace or something.

so was unable to run the command u have suggested above.

anyway, i manage to locate the system (there was 2 one at the remote side, and the one having problem was the one at my side ) and manage to reboot it. and everything is back to normal now.

thanks all for the time.
