Problems accessing CLI from X\completeing upgrade - Fedora 15.


Hi Everyone
I have a major problem. I think it might be a good idea to write the progression of the whole thing. So, I'm sorry if it's long and boring:

It started with my nautilus not running (i.e. not starting when I start it).
Then, I tried to perform an upgrade (after removing some packages that wouldn't upgrade, from the list).
During the upgrade, my computer crashed. And now it won't perform the upgrade, not install any new packages. It says I need to run yum-complete-transaction.
Only problem is, now, my terminal also won't open (behaves roughly the same as nautilus). So I can't run it.

I feel like if there was any other way I could run yum-complete-transaction, it might solve all my problems, or at least some.

Is there any way I can do it?
Are there any ideas for how I should solve this, or why it happened to nautilus to begin with?

Thank
Tal

How about Ctrl+Alt+F2 ?

Yes. That worked. I remembered there was a way to do that. I just couldn't remember how.

Thanks!!!

(And now - on to trying to make everything that got screwed up work again)
