How to set a key combination for a "partial reboot" - anon222 - 01-18-2015

Linux Lite almost never freezes. But when it does happen, it's often enough to perform a "partial reboot" (only the graphical environment). That's technically better than a hard reboot by the physical power button.

For a partial reboot you can enable the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
To set this up open the terminal Ctrl +Alt +T

Type in:

Code:
gksudo leafpad /etc/default/keyboard

When a text editor opens, find the line:

Code:
XKBOPTIONS=""

Replace it by this line (use copy/paste):

Code:
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

Save the modified file and close it and then reboot your computer.
After logging in again, you can test it: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace should reboot only the desktop and throw you back into the login window.
