Re: Frozen or locked screen?

[Samir Unni]

Hi,

It seems that you are having a different problem then. Do you ever actually use the locking feature? If not, then maybe you could just change the keybinding for that to something hard to type so you never accidentally activate it?

Thanks,

Samir

I waited for around 30 mins hoping that i will get attached to the
screen, but that didn't happen :(

My desktop and the host on which i run screen are within a LAN.

Thanks for the help.
