Ubuntu server: lost prompt on monitor
- by Richard
Hello All,
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 server edition. I have a monitor plugged into the box for occasional admin tasks. I pulled out a USB disk (without unmounting) and the screen is now full with this message:
Buffer I/O error on device sdc1, logical block 7778778
I can't seem to clear the screen or get a prompt back. Doesn't appear to be registering keyboard strokes. The box is still running fine (I can ssh in from elsewhere and evrything is running as normal).
Any ideas on how to clear screen and get my prompt back?
