Do you know about 'kill'?
(I haven't had too much success with it, though) afaik: 'ps aux | grep <Program>' to get pid then kill -9 <pid> Someone correct me if I'm wrong. |

BTW, trash(like a "trash" directory/folder) is not a linux thing, more like a desktop metaphor thing. Delete(using rm) doesn't normally move anything to a trash directory, it just removes it. |
Kill

The other problem is that when system hangs,then even mouse and keyboard stop working ,and there won,t be any possibility to type commands like kill. |

and the software "enhancements" you're suggesting amount to mind reading. it is impossible (yes, impossible) for the computer to know if you really meant to do what you just did. and personally, i'd be pretty creeped out if my computer could read my mind anyway... |

Kill is a perfect word for what it is doing, when you start a program you are running a instants/session of that program. When the program locks up or doesn't shut down when it should then the kill command allows you to kill that instants/session. That instants/session will never again be run you killed it, but unlike a living thing with a program you can start another instants/session of what ever program you are wanting to run, but it is a NEW instants/session NOT the one you killed. |

#edit: mrrangerman explained it better, and earlier Something worth trying: if you have another machine on the same network available to you, try to ssh into your "hung" system. |
provisioning and considering possibilities not mind reading
Quote:
I am not suggesting to enable software to read minds,although there are some efforts in this field, and i think,in some cases ,already software do this to some extent ! Thank you |

"giving some wrong commands" no one can help if the user issues (or gives) a wrong command. Linux offers more capability and power to a user, and with this power is equal responsibility. Remember: Linux does not baby-set a careless user the way we were cuddled by microsoft before. Moreover, there are examples of commands that no provisioning is either practically needed or applicable; simple examples are: (linux) # rm -fr <Enter>, or (microsoft) a:\ format C: <Enter> "y", "y". "clicking on an unexpected or wrong place" I have not experienced this yet under any of linux distros, this is the first time I heard something like needing to reboot if clicking goes other places (on desktop?). I am not convinced that this is a bug, rather, there could be something wrong with your current setup. Maybe there is something important that was altered in your configuration. I suggest you download an image of a Linux Mint live CD, burn it, and use it instead to repair or install a fresh OS in your machine. Newbies will sure find it very difficult to trace back changes in a Linux system much to make repairs. Also, it is good to read the fundamentals of Linux/Unix systems in order to be able to overcome simple user challenges. Here is a tutorial, download and read it first, it is well written and has greatly help thousands of newbies in the community. Quote:
Pardon my straight wording, but somewhere somehow someone must tell you one honest thing after two days of this unsolved thread. I sympathize you because I was too an idiot who spent the best of my younger life with MSDOS and Windows, but I have already learned to admit that this linux community and the free software world is better and more politically, socially, academically and morally righteous. I hope this helps. Good luck bro. |
Not solved,but i won,t follow that.

-Any way i am not going to follow this discussion any more, but, it my view it is not solved,and,will not be solved,until no software crashes any more,and no system failure happens. Other people may go on discussing or leave it ! -Finally let me to decide myself about if Linux is for me too or not. Thank you |
