I am searching for a newuser-friendly way to kill non-responsive GUI applications under Unity.
I looked over the shoulder of a new Unity user who tried to use gscan2pdf - and gscan2pdf seems to be really broken - after not much tinkering it consumed much CPU und memory, the PC began trashing and the user needed to immediately kill the gscan2pdf GUI which was full-screen, non-responsive and had the focus.
Ok, I know some ways how to do it:
- Hit
Alt+F2
and typexkill
-> select the window - Hit
Alt+F2
startxterm
, usetop
orpgrep
and thenkill PID
or directly usepkill
Both are ways which are not very intuitive for GUI centric users.
Is there some Unity shortcut to get something like xkill
?
Or is the best GUI-way to add a top-like GUI to the Unity-starter? And which one?
xkill
..
