My computer is windows, but I am working in an Ubuntu Virtual Machine. I was doing some work in an application, and then it froze on me. I tried suspending the VM and reopening it, but the application was still frozen.

Should I choose Shut Down or some other option? I just want to be able to re-load the VM and not have to deal with the frozen application anymore. I already saved all my work before the application froze, so that is not a concern.

  • you can close the app with xkill or kill. – Panther Nov 01 '17 at 03:07
  • How would I use that command? Also, would there be any consequences of using that command, other than simply closing the application? – Inertial Ignorance Nov 01 '17 at 03:10
  • You would loose data, but should be fine. Open a terminal and run xkill put the crossbones on the app and click. If that does not work killall name_of_app or kill -9 PID to get the PID of the app you need to run ps axf | grep <app name> .
