While playing an audio in totem, the mate desktop crashed.
I couldn't switch to a console like I use to be able to do with ctrl-alt-F{n} - seems that is gone is from CentOS.
I couldn't open a terminal by right clicking on the desktop.
I was able to open a folder, navigate to /usr/bin and open gnome-terminal that way and issue the shutdown command.
Since switching to virtual consoles no longer seems to work, what is the proper way to deal with rebooting a system when the window manager with all its menus crashes?
CentOS 7
