                            computer isn't in the same state anymore and rebooting it could very well
                            leave you with an unusable system. If in spite of that you are very sure
                            rebooting is what you want, go to a text terminal by pressing the three
                            keys <span class="guilabel">Alt Ctrl F2</span> at the same time. After that, press
                            <span class="guilabel">Alt Ctrl Delete</span> simultaneously to reboot.
