kill a proces with a DL state code

I've been looking into the kill command. I've also installed htop for ease of use.

Now, i was watching a Animé and mplayer crashed. Just went silent. Pressing the home button brought me back to my desktop. but killing the gmplayer process didn't seem possible. tried several things.

Code:

killall -9 gmplayer
killall -15 gmplayer

and also with htop, none whould work. after doing "ps ax -u user" i came to find that gmplaye had the following proces state code: "DL" wich means it's uninteruptable and has pages locked in memory.

is there any method of killing the proces without rebooting the system? grtzzz Z

 

you could try editing installing xkill...
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1052&p=7114#p7114
Then you can kill "frozen" windows with ctrl+alt+esc and then clicking on them.
Or, if you started it from a bash shell, killing that shell (e.g. by closing the window) ought to kill any child processes.

 

xkill is allready installed, shal try that next time

but i seemed to have killed my "taskbar", whats the command to restart it?
