From: James Allsopp on 17 Jun 2010 13:00 Hi, When I'm testing things with X I l want to be able to log via SSH and restart X, how can I do that in a console? I'm using Gnome. Thanks! James

This is what I always do, but with sudo (so, same thing): $> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart Replace gdm with kdm or xdm or whatever display manager one is running. BTW, I wonder why the OP needs to SSH to his machine unless he is already doing stuff remotely. On my machine if X messed up, I just switch to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2 or F3 ..) and give the command from there. -- Please reply to this list only.

I have this happen on occasion with gnome apps (my wife's machine, keep that stuff off my box please! ;-). A quick ssh and kill and it's all good. A |
