ctrl + alt + delete, what is the equal of this in ubuntu?

I tried killall, but I couldn't quite get that to work.

There is no equivelent because there is no direct equivelent to the task manager.
Assuming you want to be able to kill something that is frozen have a look at the following url for tips on doing just that.

You can download and install Automatix which gives you the opportunity to install many things, mp3 codecs, dvd codecs, etc. Among those options, is a task manager very similar to the Windows one which can be executed with the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+Del.

thanks. In Knoppix, u just had to hit ctrl + esc to bring up a task manager.

I assume this is so you can kill processes and apps. Well, you can open up a terminal, type 'top' to see process ID's for your programs (among many other things). When you find the process ID for your program, just push 'k' and enter the PID for your program. It will ask you for a signal (use 9 - it always works for me ). Voila! Your program is killed!

In Ubuntu, you can reproduce the CTRL-ALT-DEL function of Windows (which brings up the task manager) like that.

First install gnome-system-monitor (which should already be installed) :
Then bind the keys CTRL-ALT-DEL to it (issue those commands in the terminal) :
That's it !

Click System > Preferences > Hotkeys (Something like that. I dont use english ubuntu sorry for that )

Click Add and type something to Name section (like TASKMANAGER)
