If you know the process ID - PID you can use the conviently named 'kill' command from terminal/konsole/etc. If you don't you can use 'ps -aux' to find the process and it's PID. Then again in Terminal, Konsole, or the like 'kill -9 45156' if the PID was 45156. Alternatively if it's a graphical process you can type 'xkill' from terminal, konsole, or the like and just click on the program to kill it.
