Hi, I need some help
This is for a home computer
My desktop manager is freezing (XFCE). I can ssh into the system.
But I do not know how to restart the desktop manager.
My google fu is not working. I google by "restart desktop manager fedora
24" but do not get anything remotely useful. Maybe I am not using the
magic incantation words.
First, you'd be wise to look at all the various logs to find out why
it's freezing. I use XFCE as well and I don't have that issue.
Is it the desktop (session) manager or the display manager? The desktop
manager would be something like "killall -9 xfce4-session" and it should
restart. There are a number of different display managers that could
be used, however (lightdm, sddm, etc.). I use "lightdm" so the command
would be "killall -9 lightdm" to kill it.
YMMV
Oh, I forgot, also "killall -9 xfdesktop" (that's the actual desktop).
Systemctl restart lightdm (if lightdm is your display manager) should
kill and restart your DM. If your DM is frozen, the fact that the
systemctl command will shutdown your desktop as well won't matter?
regards,
Steve
