Thanks but it looks to be more trouble than it's worth I'm not very tech savvy, I hoped there would be an easy fix but I'll go without the Magic Sysrq commands.

I think I'm out of luck then, I did some research before making this post and my keyboard (Logitech k400+) doesn't have an alternative key combo.

I guess I'll have to keep doing safe reboots by logging into a terminal, a little less convenient than Sysrq + reisub but not a big deal.

Thanks everyone.

It's rare I need to reboot a locked up system but I'd like to have the option available if it should happen.

I use a wireless keyboard which isn't full size and unfortunately doesn't have a Sysrq or Printscreen key. Am I out of luck with using Magic Sysrq keys or is there a way to use an alternative key combination?

Thank you

For me the golden age of gaming was 16 bit, late 80s early 90s. The Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, SNES, Sega Genesis. There were some great games released for these machines.

Classic sci-fi movies with a meaningful message, maybe you'd like Planet of the Apes

I've been enjoying Combat Master on the PC it's an FPS that's a lot of fun.

I'm currently reading 'The wind in the willows' which I should finish later today.

Next on my list is 'The road' by Jack London, an autobiography of the author's life as a homeless person in the early part of the 20th century.
