One time I was playing modded Skyrim when it froze/crashed at the loading screen

So I summon task manager, it hides behind the frozen game. I alt+tab and start blind keying to Skyrim to end it, been here hundreds of times, but nothing happens and the Skyrim world music STARTS???!!!

ALT+TAB to see TM and Skyrim both reporting non-responsive. Tab to Skyrim and press w, clearly hear character moving and reacting to my input

Try again to end process via ALT+F4, No dice. Try via TM, still unresponsive

I had to reboot my PC with a hard power button press that time and I still don’t fully understand what the FUCK happened

TachyonTele ,

I’m surprised Microsoft hasn’t removed task manager yet.

Task Manager, kill this guy!

I work as a helpdesk tech and I always say that I killed a task in task manager when writing up ticket notes.

fmstrat ,

I think you mean top. Followed by a k and the enter key twice.

ADTJ ,

TIL you can kill processes straight from top

TheDarkQuark ,

You can, but I recommend btop. It’s much more cooler.

MouseKeyboard ,

Only if the process is a bottom.

As a windows user WIN+R -> CMD -> TASKKILL /F /T /IM “<appname>*”

… I use it too much. Appa often block my screen :|

archonet ,

SIGTERM: stop that.

SIGKILL: That was not a request.

Case power button: listen here you little shit

CommissarVulpin ,

I flip off the breaker, just to be safe.

letsgo ,

Sounds like it’s not just me that goes “ok then, try arguing with this” when power cycling an unresponsive computer.

WereCat ,

Task Manager stopped responding

$ sudo kill -9 1

fuck you

$ echo “c” > /proc/sysrq-trigger

☠

As someone who’s relatively new to Linux, anyone want to explain what these lines would do? I’m aware of KILL, but dunno what the ‘-9’ refers to. Not familiar with sysrq-trigger

The kill command allows you to specify which type of kill signal you want to send. -9 sends signal 9 or SIGKILL, and we’re sending it to pid 1.

That would force kill systemd, which I just have to assume will send your computer to a crashing halt.

The echo command is writing “c” to a file at /proc/sysrq-trigger which I don’t really know how it works but this suggests you’ll “crash the system without first unmounting file systems or syncing disks attached to the system.”

I haven’t installed fuck so I’m not sure how that works

Meanwhile, a Linux user wipes blood off a sledgehammer with “SIGKILL” written on the handle

rxin ,

-9 in kill -9 stands for 9mm

Lol, tell that to Xorg.

130% and it doesn’t care about your kills or killalls or pkills or SIGKILLs…. It’s just gonna go, no matter what, until you shut the fucker down by unplugging it.

Sometimes you’ve just got a process that just won’t listen to commands.

Thants when you have to KILL the process.

PlexSheep ,

Ig you sigkill a process, that process will no longer get CPU time, as far as I know. So if it didn’t work, you shot the wrong thing.

In the immortal words of Monzy:

I pull out my keyboard / and I pull out my gloc / and I dismount your girl / and I mount slash proc / cos I’ve got your pid / and the bottom line / is you best not front / or its kill dash nine

I_Miss_Daniel ,

Doesn’t seem to work for me. If Rustdesk goes rogue, it refuses to die. I might need to practice some more command-line-fu though.

sag ,

Did you mean xkill?

PlexSheep ,

Only works on xorg

DannyBoy ,

I miss xkill. I recently switched to Wayland but xkill worked instantly 100% of the time.
