My sister and I are using computer with openSuSE 10.3. And she left on her account Firefox with some game with some stupid music and locked screen and left home. Now I want to play music in Amarok but that music on her account is killing my music:mad:
How to shut her Firefox? She dont want to give me her password?
Plzzz, can I do it somehow without restarting the computer?
Do you have root permissions?
If so, then from the command line:
killall firefox-bin
Note, this should kill all instances of firefox on the system. If it
doesn’t work, then add ‘-9’ to ‘killall’:
killall -9 firefox-bin
That means kill it and kill it good. :]

You can simply hit ctrl+alt+backspace, which should kill the current X session 
KSysguard also works, and so does:
ps -ef | grep firefox
kill PID
(replace PID with the PID/process number that ps returns)
I’m a fan of Ctrl+Alt+Bksp but it doesn’t seem to work on openSUSE 11. I just get a beep.
I get the beep aswell. I find holding it down/repeating works though.

I think I like this change. I keep bumping the lousy set of keys on
accident from time to time and losing data. Having it “make sure” I
want to kill X seems like a good improvement as long as it was intended.
Good luck.
