It was not enabled by default in my Ubuntu. But you can enable the support by editing /etc/sysctl.conf and adding this line: kernel.sysrq = 1 I suppose it is disabled by default to increase security (in case someone else was able to physically access your computer, so no biggie if you and your family members are the only users of your computer). For more info on sysctl.conf options, see this: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-harden-ubuntu-linux-kernel-with.html AFAIK, none of the Magic sysrq key thing will work if the support for it is not enabled first in Ubuntu.

But when keyboard does not respond, Alt+SysRq+REISUB doesn't work either. In my case, "magic" SysRq key worked in half of the crash cases.

Everything Is Sh*tty! Un-Boot!" key combinations should be used with a few seconds in between them, to allow each key to take effect. If Linux has a large amount of data in its buffer, you want to make sure it has (S)ynced it before your computer re(B)oots. Also, if your keyboard lights are flashing, the kernel has panicked and nothing will save you from rebooting. Just remember, when you reboot, to disable Nvidia's POS driver and you'll no longer get crashes... Just a note: The “aRRR! Everything Is Sh*tty!
